Yes, I've seen something similar last year, when I began to add
instrumentation code the problems became less reproducible.

So in my situation either there was a race condition with the
firmware, or a signal integrity problem on the SDIO.

I wasn't able to go into full signal integrity work at the time.

I also have rather hazy memory of which particular problem I was
working on.  ;-)

Perhaps you might review the effects of CONFIG_MMC_DEBUG and remove
some of it?
