[PATCH] linux-yocto 3.0: fix beagleboard boot hang on mmc init due to preempt

[PATCH] linux-yocto 3.0: fix beagleboard boot hang on mmc init due to preempt

[Denys Dmytriyenko]

From: Denys Dmytriyenko <denys@ti.com>

The boot hangs with the message:
mmc0: error -110 whilst initialising SD card

The MMC driver has issues initializing when PREEMPT is enabled (either forced
or voluntary). Unplugging and then plugging the card back will reset the
driver and continue booting. Alternatively, disable preemption.

Looks good .. and as discussed perfectly reasonable for now. I'll
pull this into the repo tomorrow (this) morning and send it around for
merging.

Thanks for the fix,

Bruce
