Subject: mmc does not work in qemu n900

Hello,

for unknown reason kernel in qemu n900 machine is not able to 
detect internal eMMC memory. External SD card is detected without 
problem.

If I apply this one-line patch eMMC in qemu start working:

diff --git a/drivers/mmc/core/core.c b/drivers/mmc/core/core.c
index 9584bff..0d4461c 100644
--- a/drivers/mmc/core/core.c
+++ b/drivers/mmc/core/core.c

 	if (!mmc_attach_sd(host))
 		return 0;
+
+	mmc_go_idle(host);

 	if (!mmc_attach_mmc(host))
 		return 0;

I played with mmc and qemu n900 a bit and also this simple patch 
(without first) fix problem (that mmc is not detected by kernel):

diff --git a/drivers/mmc/core/mmc_ops.c 
b/drivers/mmc/core/mmc_ops.c

 	cmd.arg = mmc_host_is_spi(host) ? 0 : ocr;
 	cmd.flags = MMC_RSP_SPI_R1 | MMC_RSP_R3 | MMC_CMD_BCR;

I have no idea where is problem. I also do not understand mmc 
kernel code, but second patch I have on my HDD since 2.6.37.

Can somebody with knowledge of mmc subsystem look at this 
problem? Why any of these two patches fix problem when mmc is not 
detected by kernel in qemu (machine n900)? Detection of mmc fails 
because function mmc_send_op_cond() without one of above patches 
fails.
