[U-Boot] [PATCH v3 4/4] mmc: sdhci: increase the timeout and udelay value

[Jaehoon Chung]

Hi Andy and Lei,

I have some question.
We used the timeout value at sdhci_transfer_data().
How did we get the timeout value "10000"? and must set the timeout value?
I think that used to prevent the infinite loop. right?
i want to know how did we get that timeout value?

Before set the interrupt status register, timeout value is set to zero.
So returned error with "Data transfer timeout" message.

Best Regards,
Jaehoon Chung
