OLPC XO-1 sdhci regression

[Andres Salomon]

Hi Pierre,

With the current Linus git tree, the sdhci driver fails to find the partition
table on cards during bootup on OLPC XO-1 machines.  This makes booting off of
SD impossible.  The errors go something like this:

 mmcblk0:
mmc0: Timeout waiting for hardware interrupt.
mmcblk0: error -110 sending stop command
end_request: I/O error, dev mmcblk0, sector 0
Buffer I/O error on device mmcblk0, logical block 0
[repeat a bunch of times]
  unable to read partition table

No oopses or anything, the SD controller just fails to read the partition
table off the card.

I bisected a bit, and that led me to this commit:

 commit e809517f6fa5803a5a1cd56026f0e2190fc13d5c

     sdhci: let the controller wait for busy state to end
    
     The sdhci controllers can interrupt us when the busy state from the
     card has ended, saving CPU cycles and power.

Reverting that commit allows the driver to read the partition table.
