I don't know the exact behaviour of sdhci around this, so I will defer
to Adrian's input for that.

However, let me point out that in mmc_set_uhs_voltage() we are trying
to take the 1ms into account. More precisely, after
mmc_host_set_uhs_voltage() has been called to switch the voltage to
1.8V and to re-enable the clock, mmc_set_uhs_voltage() does a
"mmc_delay(1)" and then it calls the ->card_busy() ops to check that
card doesn't signal busy by holding DAT0 low.

I understand that the code in mmc_set_uhs_voltage(), expects the host
to be rather dumb from the HW perspective, which may not always be the
case. Although, I would rather avoid introducing new host flags, along
what you propose in the $subject patch. If this can't be managed in
sdhci, without some new help from the mmc core, I would rather suggest
that we introduce a new host callback that can be used to replace the
entire part in mmc_host_set_uhs_voltage() (or something along those
lines).

Kind regards
Uffe
