Subject: [PATCH 3.16 289/305] mmc: core: Use a minimum 1600ms timeout when
 enabling CACHE ctrl

3.16.63-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Ulf Hansson <ulf.hansson@...aro.org>

commit e3ae3401aa19432ee4943eb0bbc2ec704d07d793 upstream.

Some eMMCs from Micron have been reported to need ~800 ms timeout, while
enabling the CACHE ctrl after running sudden power failure tests. The
needed timeout is greater than what the card specifies as its generic CMD6
timeout, through the EXT_CSD register, hence the problem.

Normally we would introduce a card quirk to extend the timeout for these
specific Micron cards. However, due to the rather complicated debug process
needed to find out the error, let's simply use a minimum timeout of 1600ms,
the double of what has been reported, for all cards when enabling CACHE
ctrl.
