Looks ok to me me overall.

Just one more thing I noticed:

500ms seems like an awfully long time for a busy-wait, I wonder if this
could be improved in some way. Is this always called from atomic context?

If not, any callers from non-atomic context could use
readl_poll_timeout() instead, or maybe there could be a shorter
timeout in atomic context, with a fallback to a non-atomic
workqueue if that times out, so only the MMC access will stall but
not the entire system.

The same problem does appear to be in dw_mmc.c and mtk-sd.c but not
in sdhci*.c, so I don't know if this is avoidable.
