mmc_poll_for_busy() is, but the problem is already at
mmc_wait_for_req(card->host, &mrq);
Drivers like SDHCI will setup their hardware timer for (in SDHCI) the data inhibit bit.
Drivers dont check if the set timeout is above their capabilities, that's why sanitize also
removes the busy flag.
So without this patch and issuing a secure erase that takes reasonably long, it will fail like so:

(First print added by me, shows cmd_timeout_ms set by mmc-utils)
Erroring out already at
if (cmd.error) {
	dev_err(mmc_dev(card->host), "%s: cmd error %d\n",
					__func__, cmd.error);
	return cmd.error;
}
i.e. timeout set by user space is  being limited by the max hardware timeout.
