Sorry my bad not listing all the error log: Case 1. clock stabilization timeout: (the below clock control dump shows clock is good) [159525.255629] mmc1: Internal clock never stabilised.

Ouch my bad, the sdhci_send_command are called either from spinlock or IRQ handler, so this part is good ... I'll send a new patch to cover case 1 and case 2 if you agree. Thanks, Alek
