Response Timeout is very usual: it will happen when trying to run some
commands that do not belong to the card; it will happen when some SDIO
card transfer beyond its SDIO bandwidth; and when the MMC controller is
set to poll the card with "broken-cd" property (the Lichee Pi series of
boards do this), it will flood to the console and make the console
unusable.

Mask all response-timeout-only error messages, only show it when another
error happens.

Response Timeout is very usual: it will happen when trying to run some
commands that do not belong to the card; it will happen when some SDIO
card transfer beyond its SDIO bandwidth; and when the MMC controller is
set to poll the card with "broken-cd" property (the Lichee Pi series of
boards do this), it will flood to the console and make the console
unusable.

Mask all response-timeout-only error messages, only show it when another
error happens.

We really shouldn't silence legit errors.

The actual problem here is that we log them as error, we could
probably reduce it to debug.

Even if it's reduced to debug, it will still flush dmesg buffers.

Or make it only visible when "debug" parameter is present in kernel
cmdline?

No, it will not even be compiled by default.

debug messages are visible in dmesg only if DEBUG is defined, which is
only happening if CONFIG_MMC_DEBUG is set. This won't affect the
general case in any way.

And it is output only if loglevel is set higher than 7.

No, it will not even be compiled by default.

debug messages are visible in dmesg only if DEBUG is defined, which is
only happening if CONFIG_MMC_DEBUG is set. This won't affect the
general case in any way.

And it is output only if loglevel is set higher than 7.

Should I make all error messages debug level or only make "RTO"-only
error to debug level like I currently do?

I'd say just change the level of the log of the line coming below that
one. It doesn't provide any useful clue about what's going on anyway,
there's nothing the user will be able to do to prevent that, and
someone willing to debug it will have to turn on the debug options
anway.

there's nothing the user will be able to do to prevent that, and
someone willing to debug it will have to turn on the debug options
anway.
