Correct. Do you want to send a patch that fixes this? Otherwise I can do it...

Thanks for elaborating!

Can you please also tell exactly which of the CMD6 commands in the
suspend sequence that is triggering this problem? Cache flush? Power
off notification?

So in your case, allowing re-tuning a little longer in __mmc_switch()
solves your problem. Clearly there are cases when we need to prevent
re-tuning when sending CMD6, however maybe not in all cases as we do
today.

For example it seems reasonable to not hold retuning before sending
CMD6 for cache flush, but instead it should be sufficient to hold it
before polling for busy in __mmc_switch().

Adrian, what's your thoughts on this?

As you suspect the tuning didn't work out correctly, then why don't
you retry one more time?
