No, this isn't the proper place of adding more "magic" delays.

Instead, make sure the related ->set_ios() callback in the mmc host
driver deals with this instead. In case it uses an external regulator,
via the regulator API, then this is something that should be
controlled with the definition of the regulator.

Ditto.
