So digging back in memory (since I no longer have the
broadcom-internal email threads on this topic), I think I recall what
the problem is. card_event is being called directly from
mmc_gpio_cd_irqt, which is atomic context. My plan for this was to
delay the card_event callback into the mmc_rescan worker, as that
would have 2 nice results: remove the callback from atomic context
which it doesn't need to be in, and put it in line with the debounced
rescan (which I think it should be). I made mention of that option in
this thread (https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/8/19/539) but seems I never
followed up with code...
Something along the lines of the (untested) code below might do the trick:

diff --git a/drivers/mmc/core/core.c b/drivers/mmc/core/core.c

Of course there are (a few) more users of card_event callback than
bcm_kona that need to be confirmed ok such a change
Thanks,
