There is a statement applicable to all HS modes, which says it's *not
recommended* but *if* used, CRC errors shall be ignored.

That's what we have been doing so far, but perhaps that isn't good
enough for HS200/400.

What do you mean by never? I assume it would when you extend the timeout?

Does your host driver make sure to ignore CRC errors in this case?
Just to be sure, that isn't the problem.

Whether it's a bug or not, it seems like we have eMMC cards that we
have issues to support because of the way we have interpreted the
spec. So let's try to fix them!

Okay, I see.

Let's try to change the behaviour in __mmc_switch() to prevent it to
send CMD13 before the cards stops signal busy on DAT0, when switching
to HS200/HS400 mode.

What I have in mind is:

1.
When the host controller doesn't support MMC_CAP_WAIT_WHILE_BUSY, we
would then to wait for a fixed timeout, before we send CMD13. In this
case, do you know if the "generic_cmd6_time" is working for your eMMC
devices that you had issues with?

2.
In additional to the above solution, we can for those hosts that
supports the ->card_busy() ops, but not MMC_CAP_WAIT_WHILE_BUSY,
invoke the ->card_busy() in a polling manner. Of course the above
timeout should also be considered as we need to stop polling at some
point.

So I noticed the Mediatek mmc host driver supports the ->card_busy()
ops. So I think you can try 1) first, then extend it to 2).

Does it makes sense?
