Subject: mmc: core: clear flags before allowing to retune
From: Wolfram Sang <wsa+renesas@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 77347eda64ed5c9383961d1de9165f9d0b7d8df6 upstream.
It might be that something goes wrong during tuning so the MMC core will
immediately trigger a retune. In our case it was:
- we sent a tuning block
- there was an error so we need to send an abort cmd to the eMMC
- the abort cmd had a CRC error
- retune was set by the MMC core
This lead to a vicious circle causing a performance regression of 75%.
So, clear retuning flags before we enable retuning to start with a known
cleared state.
