Thanks, for elaborating. I get it know. :-)

Okay. So in this case your mmc host driver will take care of this. That's fine.

My concern is then how other mmc host drivers will deal with these
kind of cards that violates the spec. It would be nice if you could
add a card quirk for these cards, if you still recall what cards that
were causing these issues.

Whether your driver has a potential concurrent access of the same
registers, I don't know. If that's the case you probably want to
protect this from happening.

Kind regards
