We've been talking about this a little off-list, and I was just 
triggered again by this so I'm following up on it again.

The same issue bit me in the ass on a Micron 'industrial' grade eMMC 
(MTFC4GACAANA) and luckily you found this back then to help me.

As we discussed, this may very well be a limitation of the mmc 
controller, rather then the MMC chip. While we only have a sample size 
of 2 on 2 different socs (with likely the same mmc IP) (A13/A20) I found 
in the JEDEC spec in the appendix on changes from 4.4 to 4.41:
Introduce of High Priority Interrupt mechanism, HPI background and one 
of possible solutions.

Which leaves me to believe, that HPI was added to eMMC in version 4.41 
and was not available before. Both the A13 and A20 user manuals state 
that the MMC controller in these socs is only version 4.3.

Obviously I know far to little as to what does and what does not work 
with an MMC-host, since it's just a simple data-bus, but I would not be 
surprised if these things are somewhere somewhat related, so hopefully 
someone on this list can give their opinion on this.

I already checked the core/mmc.c where the version is read from the mmc 
controller to see if we can trigger on this based on version, however it 
seems only the major version number is stored here [0]?

So in my opinion, it is quite likely that this setting be moved up to 
the mmc-core level, for the SoC, rather then the card itself?
