It seems awkward. > Shouldn't we just hold retune for those requests that needs it? For data requests (which also call __mmc_start_req()) there is the possibility that a 'write' is not finished and is polled with CMD13. So re-tuning is held to avoid conflicting with the busy state. It also aids controlling when re-tuning happens in the recovery path i.e. we have a go at getting the status first and if that doesn't work first time, then re-tune if needed. Also mmc_retune_hold() does not only hold retuning, it also causes re-tuning to happen if the hold_count was zero, so it does "make-retuning-happen-if-needed-and-not-already-held-and-then-hold-retuning" > >>> >>> Anyway, my proposal didn't quite work, which is due to that >>> mmc_deselect_cards() (invoked from mmc_sleep()) deals with retries.

Oh yes, I have overlooked that re-tuning can't be done on a de-selected card. So I will add mmc_retune_hold()/mmc_retune_release(). I will have to think about the error handling. It looks broken now anyway since it doesn't reselect the card in the error path.
