This feature(BKOPS) is defined in eMMC4.41 spec.(differ with Per Forlins's non-blocking patch)
Hanumath Prasad's patch is sent before Per Forlin's patch. 
so need to rebase for applied patch.

You're right. 
But this patch is the RFC patch (i mentioned this patch is not to merge).
So i didn't add the comment for this function.
If this patch should be merge, i will add the comment for function.
(at next time, if i send the other RFC patch, i will also add the comment)

No problem..using pr_info or pr_debug..

I used the checkpatch.pl tool..but i didn't find message about this line.
If you point out the brackets {}, i will removed that and make a single line.

I didn't understand this comment...how do you change this statement?

Right..i will modify this point..

Thanks for your comments..
Any other opinion about this feature (BKOPS)..??
