Thanks for your patch, which is now commit 2cc83bf7d41113d9 ("mmc:
core: Allow mmc_start_host() synchronously detect a card") in
linux-next/master mmc/next next-20230614 next-20230615 next-20230616

I have bisected the following failure on Renesas Salvator-XS with R-Car H3
ES2.0 to the above commit:

    renesas_sdhi_internal_dmac ee140000.mmc: timeout waiting for
hardware interrupt (CMD0)
    renesas_sdhi_internal_dmac ee140000.mmc: timeout waiting for
hardware interrupt (CMD1)
    renesas_sdhi_internal_dmac ee140000.mmc: timeout waiting for
hardware interrupt (CMD0)
    renesas_sdhi_internal_dmac ee140000.mmc: timeout waiting for
hardware interrupt (CMD1)
    mmc0: Failed to initialize a non-removable card

Reverting the commit fixes the issue for me.
