I would prefer to know where the 2 second response time comes from.
Could be sdio retuning. Maybe the chromeos people can comment whether
this has been root caused.

There is a mmc patch pending in which retuning procedure can be deferred
by the driver. Using that API may resolve the issue as well and I would
prefer that solution.

As the retuning stuff is not in main line I guess we need this fix for
now so...

Still would like to know whether it is firmware initialization or some
mmc stack procedure. Any suggestions to debug this are welcome.
