Re: [PATCH] mmc: sdio: reset card during power_restore

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Seeing something similar but the details are a little different.  My kernel is somewhat old but ...
Seeing this with sd card and android.
card is removed/inserted/removed/inserted etc very quickly during power operations.  After 20-30 times
a problem occurs.  this can be anything from file system errors, partition not recognized or a kernel hang.

My thought is this is not a quirk issue but power down needs to be delayed during the power up
sequence until processing has been completed in the mmc layer.  Any thoughts on how to 
debug this would be welcome.  When the hang happens the system is not dead (as in 
console output showing card insert/remove still happens but console is locked etc.

thanks,

Philip

I do not think a quirk is the answer.
