Subject: MMC: When rescanning cards check existing cards after mmc_setup()

Some broken cards seem to process CMD1 even in stand-by state. The result is
that the card replies with ILLEGAL_COMMAND error for the next command sent
after rescanning. Currently the next command is select card, which would
return the error. But the CMD7 does actually succeed and retries of the
command will timeout. The solution is to poll card status after the CMD1
which clears the cached error.

Sorry about not responding sooner. I've been a bit swamped.

I take it these cards do not reply to CMD2?

This change is ok right now, but might come back to bite us in the
future if we implement more intelligent voltage selection (right now new
cards will have to make due with what's already selected).

If we check cards on both sides of mmc_setup(), then we should be covered.

Also, please add some comments about why we do this. Otherwise it will
run the risk of getting removed in the future.

No. It just caches the error and fails the next command sent.

I see. The voltage selection is done in mmc_setup() based on what cards are
present.

Should I update my patch to do this already? Or is the code fine as is?

Will do.

I'll send updated patch later on.

Please include it in your revised patch.

Thanks, queued up for -mm.

Andrew, this replaces a patch in your set, so you probably need to
remove that before your next pull from me.
