Hi Andy,

Thanks for your review.

I can fix the commit log to take care of all your review comments.

Sure, I am willing to do so, and I tried earlier too. However, certain
doubts arose in my mind when I tried that and I posted my questions
earlier (https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/9/28/507) but couldn't elicit any
response. Unfortunately I still do not have answers. My primary
questions are:

1) - It seems that 1 SDHCI device may support multiple slots (looking
at the code). It is not clear to me if they could share card detect
interrupts, or should have separate ones? Also, the driver may not
really know? So should I add 1 or two pins using the
devm_acpi_dev_add_driver_gpios(). Is some one familiar with SDHC
driver can answer these questions, it shall be great.

2) I'm not really sure what should I set "active_low" to? Isn't this
something that should be specified by platform / ACPI too, and driver
should just be able to say say choose whatever the ACPI says?

struct acpi_gpio_params {
        unsigned int crs_entry_index;
        unsigned int line_index;
        bool active_low;
};

Since I do not understand the above two issues, and thus I chose the
safest path and not disturb the current code so as not to cause any
regressions.

Please let me know, and I'm happy to re-spin my patch.

Thanks,

Rajat
