Hi,

with the current mainline 4.10-rc2 kernel, I can no longer boot from
the eMMC on my i.MX6Q board.

Details:
The eMMC is a Micron MTFC4GACAJCN-1M WT but as the i.MX6Q only supports
eMMC 4.41 features and we did not implement voltage switching from 3.3V
to 1.8V or lower, I did add no-1-8-v; (but none of the mmc-ddr or mmc-hs
options) to the device tree. The bus-width is 8.

With 4.9 the board booted fine, now with the current mainline 4.10 tree,
I get the following (repeating) errors at boot:

it shows you always fail to get resp of sending status within the

After looking through the latest commits to mmc/core, I found the
culprit:
Commit e173f8911f091fa50ccf8cc1fa316dd5569bc470 ("mmc: core: Update
CMD13 polling policy when switch to HS DDR mode")

Reverting it fixes the problem. But I am unsure if that's the right
course of action?

Feel free to send me patches for testing!

By looking the changes itself, it should be good from the view of spec.
Maybe you could try the patch below, but don't beat me if that doesn't
help at all. :)

Hi,

thank you. This patch solves the problem! :)

Again, from the view of spec, the code is fine.

So I *guess* that seems your host driver doesn't work fine under
DDR52 when it's in 3V3 vccq. But I don't have a real hardware to debug
it. Could freescale guys help to check it?
