This patch is against 'renesas-devel-20150810-v4.2-rc6' tag of Simon Horman's
'renesas.git' repo plus the R8A7794/SILK QSPI patches just re-posted. It needs
the R8A7794 GPIO patches in order to compile.

Changes in version 2:
- removed not working SDHI0 stuff, renamed the patch;
- replaced SDHI1's "wp-gpios" property with "disable-wp".

I am wondering if you could explain the motivation for the "disable-wp"
update

    Please see the comment in mmc_sd_get_ro().

and weather it is appropriate for other r8a779* dts files.

    In case of micro-SD slots, yes.

    The MMC binding document says it should only be specified if the
controller has WP detection logic. We, so far, seem to have been replying on
the GPIOs despite this logic is present (according to the R-Car gen2 SDHI
manuals I have). The driver will first call mmc_gpio_get_ro() and when that
fails due to "wp-gpios" not being specified, it proceeds to reading the
register but that is forbidden by TMIO_MMC_WRPROTECT_DISABLE flag set for
the R-Car gen1/2 chips, so 0 is always returned from tmio_mmc_get_ro().
There seems to be no point in going that far (and doing the runtime PM
dances) --

    Alternatively, the driver could be fixed to check the flag before the RPM
call unlike what it does now.

If the driver can be updated to do the right thing then that seems
preferable to me. If so would it be the case that the presence of the
"disable-wp" property would not have any run-time effect?

and MMC_CAP2_NO_WRITE_PROTECT (set when "disable-wp" is specified) prohibits
doing that...

That sounds reasonable to me.

    I'm still wondering why TMIO_MMC_WRPROTECT_DISABLE is set for the R-Car
SoCs. Morimoto-san, any comments? Your change logs are too terse. :-)

I will follow up on this.

[...]
Now what is the issue that you guys are having?

My main issue is that I don't understand why checking the write protect bit is always prohibited for the R-Car SoCs (by setting TMIO_MMC_WRPROTECT_DISABLE), i.e. it can only be read via GPIO (though that GPIO is just an alias of the WP signal).

Some more questions from my side:

* What is the status of this patch

    Tested, working.

* Can you prepare patches for r8a779* dts files for micro-SD slots?

    Ugh, I probably can but won't promise anything.

Likewise, ugh.

What needs to be updated for R-Car Gen1 again?

   We haven't reached the agreement about the need for update yet.

Thanks,
/ magnus

MBR, Sergei
