Thanks for looking into this, it's been on my TODO list for quite a while.

Just so I understand correctly, the "soft lock up", gets released when
mmc_run_bkops() completes after 23s? Or are you triggering this via
some other "manual hacks"?

I am not sure a pure exponential method is the best solution, but
let's discuss this.

For example, let's assume timeout_ms is 250ms. The actual time it
takes for the card to stop signalling busy (in the ideal case), is
50ms.

How far off would we then be from 50ms by using the above solution?

Another example is when timeout_ms is set to 60s, but we should hit as
close as possible to 5s. How far off would the solution above be from
that?
