Ten minutes sounds excessive, which is actually fine for our purpose; I
don't think we need to make the value tunable.  Thanks!  Please can you:

* resend in plain text instead of HTML, with no line-wrapping corrupting
  the patch

* include a commit message and "Signed-off-by" (see SubmittingPatches
  in the Documentation/ directory)

* change the pr_err()s to include the MMC hostname, and give an English
  description of the error instead of the line number -- most users
  don't have their kernel source available to find line numbers in.
  Something like "Card stuck in programming state!" sounds good.

After that, I'll merge the patch for testing.

Thanks,

- Chris.
