Hi,

That's necessary before the patch, but it would be better if we didn't
have to pass rootwait, all else being equal.

I see, you're worried about a performance regression where every boot
takes longer than it used to while MMC quiesces.  That's fair.  Do you
think you could tell me how much delay this adds to a boot for you, so
that we can consider whether the usability improvement is worth it?

If the delay's significant, I agree with you and will revert this patch.

Thanks,

- Chris.
