Several people have noticed that crappy SD cards take much longer to
complete multiple block writes than the 300ms that Linux specifies.
Try to work around this by using a three second write timeout instead.
This is a generalized version of a patch from Chase Maupin
<Chase.Maupin@ti.com>, whose patch description said:
* With certain SD cards timeouts like the following have been seen
due to an improper calculation of the dto value:
mmcblk0: error -110 transferring data, sector 4126233, nr 8,
card status 0xc00
* By removing the dto calculation and setting the timeout value
to the maximum specified by the SD card specification part A2
section 2.2.15 these timeouts can be avoided.
* This change has been used by beagleboard users as well as the
Texas Instruments SDK without a negative impact.
* There are multiple discussion threads about this but the most
relevant ones are:

* http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-omap@vger.kernel.org/msg42213.html
* Original proposal for this fix was done by Sukumar Ghoral of
Texas Instruments
* Tested using a Texas Instruments AM335x EVM
