mmc: use really long write timeout to deal with crappy cards
Several people have noticed that crappy SD cards take much longer to
complete multiple block writes than the 300ms that Linux specifies.
Try to work around this by using a three second write timeout instead.
This is a generalized version of a patch from Chase Maupin
<Chase.Maupin@ti.com>, whose patch description said:
* With certain SD cards timeouts like the following have been seen
due to an improper calculation of the dto value:
mmcblk0: error -110 transferring data, sector 4126233, nr 8,
card status 0xc00
* By removing the dto calculation and setting the timeout value
to the maximum specified by the SD card specification part A2
section 2.2.15 these timeouts can be avoided.
* This change has been used by beagleboard users as well as the
Texas Instruments SDK without a negative impact.
* There are multiple discussion threads about this but the most
relevant ones are:
* http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=1000707#post1000707
* http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-omap@vger.kernel.org/msg42213.html
* Original proposal for this fix was done by Sukumar Ghoral of
Texas Instruments
* Tested using a Texas Instruments AM335x EVM
