Ah, now I understand. I've also been contacted privately by someone
who says that they've been experiencing similar issues and that your
patch has fixed them. Clearly there are people out there with flaky
hardware ;-)
Hmmm... Every hardware is flaky. Put a piece of hardware near your
refrigerator or DECT base, and you will have EMP or HF problems.
Or use your finger and generate ESD pulses.
I am using a piezo where I have the GND pin connected to a wire to generate
ESD pulses which have the same results as a 4 KV ESD generator:

A software which do not behave gracefully in the presence of errors is not
production quality for me.
Oh, wow. I didn't pick up on the fact that you were artificially
generating errors on the bus. I thought you'd seen this sort of
problem in production. I don't understand what sort of fault-tolerance
you expect the MMC/SD subsystem to provide.
I've heard from one person that an earlier version of this patch fixed
issues with their at91 controller. If othe people are experiencing
similar issues and this patch fixes it for them, then it definitely
lends some weight to it.
Nicolas, do you have an opinion on the patch?
