Hi, This patch introduced a regression in our kernel
(v4.19.124-rt53-rebase), It occurs when we're jumping to crush kernel
using kexec, in the initialization of the emmc driver.
I'm still debugging the root cause, but I thought of mentioning this
in the mailing list if you have any idea why this could occur.
The issue doesn't happen on normal boot, only when I specifically
crash the kernel into the crash kernel.
Thanks,
Ramon.
