Thanks for running the tests and sharing this information.

One thing that I realized, again, is that you seem to be encountering
the problem only during re-initialization (at runtime resume of the
eMMC card), but I guess, at least theoretically, you could meet the
same problem during the first initialization (boot). At this point we
can't use a card quirk, simply because we don't know anything about
the card yet.

That said, I think we should change the MMC_OP_COND_PERIOD_US to 4ms,
to make sure it works for all cases. Do you want to send a patch for
this - or just tell me if you prefer me to do it!?

Additionally, for those eMMC cards that can cope with a smaller
polling period, we could add a new generic DT property for the eMMC
card (Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mmc/mmc-card.yaml). In this
way we can avoid regressing eMMC initializations in general, but at
the same time allow those cards/platforms that can cope with a smaller
timeout, to specify and use this to decrease the initialization time.

Kind regards
Uffe
