Let me help to clarify. This isn't a regression, correct. However, the
patch fixes a long outstanding bug for sdhci-tegra.
For some SD/MMC commands, the mmc core may provide a long busy timeout
trusting the mmc host to cope with it. It has turned out that
sdhci-tegra didn't, thus it may report a cmd-timeout error, while in
fact it shouldn't.
I believe that is what the small series of patches should be addressing.
Kind regards
