It doesn't look like we have a very good alternative - unless the
problem is tied to a particular type of eMMC card, is it? (If so, we
can add a card-quirk).

The only other option I see, would then be to add a generic DT
property for eMMCs, that allows us to specify the OP_COND polling
period for it. See
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mmc/mmc-card.yaml.
