I have been having a very similar problem, though in my case it *does* 
happen with a 32 GB microSDHC card.

[    9.854751] mmc0: new ultra high speed SDR50 SDHC card at address aaaa
[    9.862897] mmcblk0: mmc0:aaaa SU32G 29.7 GiB 
[  581.272899] mmcblk0: error -110 sending stop command, original cmd 
response 0x900, card status 0x900

At first I thought the flash memory on the card had become corrupted, but 
then realized that it still worked completely fine (a) when booting Wind8 
on the same system, (b) in an Android phone, and (c) in a Rockbox MP3 
player.

On my system, the error occurs _almost always_ when trying to access my 32 
GB microSDHC card, but never with 2 GB or 4 GB SD cards.

Running badblocks -n /dev/mmcblk0, it tells me that every single block on 
the card is bad.

Per your suggestion, I booted a 3.16 kernel and encountered the exact same 
errors.

Am I right that this has been moved to rtsx_usb_sdmmc in the most recent 
kernels?

.c#L1335

Thanks,
