NB: adding 500 ms delay after device_reset_optional() DOES NOT
fix the issue:

Empirically, 8 ms is not enough time for the SDIO bus to be ready.



Reverting to default power_delay_ms.

Increasing power_delay_ms to 15.

Empirically, 45 ms *is* enough time for the SDIO bus to be ready.


My gut feeling is that the problem with SDIO devices exists on all boards.
(I am well aware that I may be wrong.)

Would you be willing to test a small kernel?
I can provide a kernel defconfig and/or a buildroot defconfig.
