> This patchset fixes an old stability issue for detection of SD-cards. The DT

> The conseqeunce from that commit, was that the initially chosen voltage level
> remained, even after I/O voltage switch sequence was performed for UHS-I cards,
> since no GPIO regulator could be fetched.
> 
> Appearantly some SD-cards didn't have any problem to cope with that, but some
> had.
> 
> Recently thorough error handling was introduced for the MMCI mmc host driver,
> while fetching the regulators for the SD-card. That actually made the driver to
> continously return -EPROBE_DEFER while probing, which thus meant failing all the
> times instead of just failing "sometimes".

> The commit that introduced the thorough error handling is:
