I'm not sure if I understand your suggestion completely. Are you suggesting setting both the broken-cd and non-removable properties? That would make sense, but my understanding was that the two properities are not meant to co-exist. In /Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mmc/mmc.txt it states that only one should be supplied. Don't the two properties conflict with each other? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe devicetree" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
