Yes, if a R1B command got response CRC error, we can do busy-waiting in
the error hander funtion(mmc_wait_for_req_done())

Yes, by JEDEC spec, temperature change cause timing drift of EMMC
device, but, as you mentioned, maybe I have a hardware problem of host,
but needs Software to cover it. so that we are doing our best to do
re-tune if got CRC error. if could recover it, then  it's better than
system hung.
