Good question. in fact, it is impossible to support both sharing all data bus and sdio interrupt in hardware except that hardware gives a special design with data1. Otherwise, controllers with shared pins requested at runtime will not support sdio devices with interrupts. > > Philip > > On Apr 26, 2011, at 12:27 AM, Barry Song wrote: > >> Hi Wolfram, >> >> 2011/4/26 Wolfram Sang <w.sang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>: >>>>> * Where is the patch that implements the get_shared_pins() hook in >>>>> Âyour driver? >>>> We send the common level patch ahead to get the upstream agreement so >>>> that we can maintain our bottom level sdhci codes better.
