[U-Boot] [PATCH] mmc: sdhci: Avoid commands errors by simple timeout adaptation.

Old command timeout value was too small and it caused I/O errors which led to uncompleted read/write/erase operations and filesystem errors. Timeout adaptation fixes this issue.
Changes in sdhci_send_command() function: - change timeout variable to static - increase default command timeout to 100 ms - add definition of max command timeout value, which can be redefined in each board config file - wait for card ready state for max defined time if it doesn't exceed defined maximum or return COMM_ERR
Once successfully increased timeout value will be used in next function call. This fix was tested on Goni, Trats, Trats2 boards by testing UMS on MMC storage.

You rely on the timeout hitting exactly the same value which is not guaranteed.
printf("Controller never released inhibit bit(s).\n");
return COMM_ERR;
if (2 * cmd_timeout <= CONFIG_SDHCI_CMD_MAX_TIMEOUT) {
cmd_timeout += cmd_timeout;

Other than that the concept seems sound.

I think this condition is guaranteed here, because of "time" value that is incremented only inside the loop. Also if meets (time == cmd_timeout) condition and next if timeout will be increased twice, then eg. if current timeout is 100ms -> next will be 200 ms, so it needs 100 loops and no more.
Am I wrong?

OK, let's take things one at a time:
First of all you use the global variable cmd_timeout, and you alter it's value. Where it is reset back in case the operation starts all over again?
Secondly the check time == cmd_timeout is very very fragile. You depend on the loop only incrementing the time by one.
This is not always guaranteed to be the case in the future.
Using a greater than comparison you are safe even if in sometime in the future the step changes and there is absolutely no performance penalty.

How do you get "3200"? Is it too long time?
After testing mmc read/write operations on Trats emmc card I observed that in most cases the timeout value was incremented to 800ms. You can add reset timeout at every function call and than you will see how often and what time values are needed by commands, in most cases it is small time value but after transfer ends - send status command is send, which needs more time. I suppose that there are a lot of card types which need some more time - so I put there this value to be sure that in most cases this MAX is good enough.

- for card ready state.
- Every time when card is busy after timeout then (last) timeout value will be
- increased twice but only if it doesn't exceed global defined maximum.
- Each function call will use last timeout value. Max timeout can be redefined
- in board config file.
