It could well be.  Pierre, I and Philip Rakity are having a side
conversation right now about this sort of thing.  Let me see if Philip
would mind if I pasted in his debugging patch for that.  Basically,
issue an SDIO ABORT/reset during MMC bus rescan.  That could kick the
card hard enough for it to be re-enumerated and take firmware upload
again.
