FYI, there was a 100 ms busy wait in the sd card interrupt handler.
This caused all kinds of problems, e.g.
* gsm uart fifo overruns (fixed in moko11b1)
* gps uart fifo overruns
* drifting clock
* audio breakups

The patch [1] is not yet in the stable kernel branch. However, it should
fix many problems for sd card users...

Greetings,
