I applied your patches on top of next-20180406.

I may need some help to get the ESP8089 driver to work. Note that I'm
very new to MMC and SDIO, just so you know (and so you can adapt your
answer).

It's filling my kernel log buffer with a lot of these[1]. I've basically
replaced Hans's mmc_force_detect_change() by your mmc_sw_reset() in
esp_sdio_probe() of the ESP8089 driver and that's it. Here is my old
patch series for ESP8089[2].

I can't say if it's an error in your patch series or me using it the
wrong way.

Could you help me debug this so that we can make the "weird" SDIO
devices such as the ESP8089 work in the kernel :)?

I'll try to mount my rootfs from something else than an initramfs so
that it may solve my problem of dmesg not showing the whole log.

Let me know how I can be helpful,
Thanks,
