Cube F4 V1.16.0 DMA on SD card broken?

I'm using Cube generator app V4.21.0 and F4 FW V1.16.0 on a 429II.

If I enable DMA transfers for the SD card, it hangs in the SD driver and won't even allow the card to be mounted.

Rolling back to older versions of stm32f4xx_ll_sdmmc and stm32f4xx_hal_sd works perfectly.

Anybody else come across this?

In recent versions of the HAL, the HSE timeout in the HAL configuration header has been decreased from 5s to 100ms. With our hardware, we found 100ms to be inadequate; it'd fail during the mount process. I'd actually guess our HSE stabilizing within 100ms not to be the issue; it's probably just the delay assisting with some other startup race. Something you might try, anyway.
