So, could that be due to the internal logic of the error handling in
dw_mmc driver? Or you think this is a generic issue?

According to the specifications (eMMC and SD) both states that the
tuning command has an R1 response. So, there shouldn't be any busy
signalling involved - at least according to spec.

Why do we need to change mmc_send_tuning()? I thought the issue was
that mmc_send_status(), which currently takes "card" as a parameter.
