Is it always wise to set BKOPS_EN to 1 if bkops is supported?
BKOPS_EN=1 will enable periodic background operations. The card will
somehow decide periodically when to start background operations. If
BKOPS_EN=0 the background operations need to be started manually. The
mmc framework could make the decision when to start background
operations.
Using dynamic clock control or suspend/resume may cause the periodic
internal operations to be delayed since it can't run without clocking
or power.
Do you have any test results comparing periodic and manual bkops?
On way forward is to add support for both periodic bkops and manual
bkops and let the device platform_data specify what to use?
