I found that the timeout code doesn't take care if the MMC stack asks it
for a bigger timeout than it can handle in Glamo hardware, also another
unlikely issue to do with giving enough clocks after powerup I will make
patches for tonight.

| Thanks for your guidance. It's _not_ the sd_drive parameter.

tomorrow...

Thanks, these kind of issues are obviously pretty interesting right now.
