No. The kernel warning is triggered after 23s, but the CPU is still
spinning after that. In my case it was an eMMC recovering from power
loss during write, and took a few reboots and a few minutes of waiting
in the end to allow it to recover.

Since the MMC_MAX_POLL_MS is around a second and total wait can exceed
it by 2 orders of magnitude, I think there is no point in trying to make
the wait that precise. The best solution would be to use interrupt from
the host, but this is a fallback code for the case where we don't have
the HW to wait (eg. it's broken).
