I still fail to see what the correct behaviour should be.
Using the v4 of this driver with a "broken-cd" binding and a timeout
of 10s my SD card takes 30s to be identified as removed after I take
it out from the SD slot.
Also, if I take it out and insert it again, I still have to wait 30s
to be able to access it again. Is this a limitation / bug of my driver
or is this the expected behaviour when we do not have a dedicated GPIO
for card detection?

Cheers,
