Looks like the card died on you there. Did you build the kernel
yourself? If so, it would be helpful if you could enable
CONFIG_MMC_DEBUG and give me a complete dmesg dump from when this
happens.

The patch doubles the timeout, so something is clearly broken if that
solves the issue. I'd like to identify if it's the driver, controller
or card first though.

Are you experiencing this with just this card, or with all?
