Hello,

You can ease reproduce this problem by typing "ums" on prompt(Trats).
If you are using Goni (without ums config), the problem is hard to 
reproduce in this case. Sometimes read one block from mmc just after 
start causes error and then you can see information "Controller never
released inhibit bit(s)".
Patch will be completed with some code comment.

Thank you
