Which are those commands? Or more interesting, which response types do
these commands expect?
I don't think this is a sunxi specific issue, I have seen similar
issues for other host controllers.

I am thinking that perhaps this should be managed by the mmc core
instead of local hacks to sunxi. Potentially we could make the core to
invoke the already existing host_ops->card_busy() callback when
needed...

Within this context, could I ask whether you controller supports IRQ
based HW-busy detection? Or you need polling of the status register?
