On the more recent Tegra boards, the eMMC devices appear to have an erase timeout of 4200ms for a single erase block! That's more than the ~2600ms max controller timeout at 48MHz on Tegra:-( (that is unless Tegra also supports more than 27 bits of timeout register) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-mmc" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
