I think so. It always assumed that if the card was not ready after
finishing switching the mode, we should got a CRC, namely -EILSEQ, from
the hosts. But the fact is if the host is in higher speed mode but the
eMMC havn't finished the switch, so the host could fail to sample the
resp of CMD13 due to the mismatch timing in between. Could it is
possible that response timeout was generated instaed of -EILSEQ? It's
quite IP specificed. So I don't think we should take the risk of relying
that. In another word, we don't expect to bail out early for any errors
bounced from hosts when polling the status, no just for explicit CRC.
