That was it, thanks.

Now, I go pass mmc_sw_reset and the init of the driver can continue but
I'm now hitting a timeout waiting for a completion.

I'll need definitely to put more time into it to debug it now. Next week
has two holidays in France though, I'll try my best to find time to work
on it next week but can't promise much work will be done.

If anyone wants to help meanwhile, here is the code:
https://github.com/QSchulz/linux/tree/mmc_sw_reset/esp8089

This is the bootlog of the tablet:
http://code.bulix.org/t7iken-328962

Hope we can get this sorted out somehow quickly so we can just put this
issue of weird SDIO devices behind us once and for all :) (well, until
the next weird ones :D).

Thanks,
Quentin
