Subject: [PATCH 5/7] mmc_spi: allow higher timeouts for SPI mode

From: Wolfgang Muees <wolfgang.mues@...rswald.de>

o Some SD cards have very high timeouts in SPI mode.
  So adjust the timeouts from theory to practice.

This is one of a line of patches to enhance the usability of
the mmc spi host port driver from "don't work with most SD cards"
to "work with nearly all SD cards" (including those ugly cards
with non-byte-aligned responses).
