The host driver shall start a software timer and indpendently needs to
watch out for the expiry of the timeout. If the host doesn't hear back
from the
controller/DMA engine even after waiting for the specified timeout,
then the timer handler that gets invoked can then do the necessary
cleanup and
inform the MMC core layer that the request failed. Does this sound feasible?
