Is this a bugfix or a new feature? I can't tell, but it feels like it's a new feature. What's wrong with just using the 5.4.y kernel tree? thanks, greg k-h

So, it will always use R1B for R1B type commands so there are no known bugs or failures with mmc devices we use on our platforms. So, we can treat this patch as an improvement for long operation commands where HW will wait as long as device is busy. Yes, should be fine to have this from 5.4.y For 5.4.y and 5.5.y, we can back-port same patch that was applied to 5.6.y Will send back-port request of that.. Thanks Sowjanya

Ok, so this isn't a regression and can't match the stable kernel rules, sorry. greg k-h

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 Uffe

But this is something thats missing from the beginning to handle commands that takes longer than max host timeout and it may fail if any operation takes more than max host timeout limit. So, can we please have this applied to 4.19.113? I will also send patches to backport for 5.4 and 5.5? Thanks Sowjanya
