I'm afraid that's insufficient motivation for this change. All documentation 
and real world tests say that MMC and SD 4-bit data is 100% compatible. So it's 
far more probable that you've misdiagnosed your error than this being the 
actual problem. The fact that 4-bit MMC support has been present for some time 
and you're only now seeing a problem further supports that.

In light of that, the suggested patch would not only be incorrect, it would 
also be worse than doing nothing. You would be papering over a symptom, making 
the real problem harder to find.

If you want something ready for upstream, for now I suggest removing 
MMC_CAP_4_BIT_DATA completely from your driver's caps field.
