Nothing landed that I'm aware of.  Are you on SDIO, SD or eMMC?
Trying to do UHS?

I know that this patch mattered for me for UHS:

  7c5209c315ea mmc: core: Increase delay for voltage to stabilize from
3.3V to 1.8V


Also important for UHS (for at least some folks) were patches like:

  9c85f37a2984 mmc: core: Add mmc_regulator_set_vqmmc()

...that attempted to get voltages more proper...


In the ChromeOS tree we did just land treating HLE errors as data and
cmd errors <https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/5978711/>.  It's not
wonderful but it's better than letting an interrupt go off forever...
