Do you have a feeling of if it it worth trying to start with a value close to 400kHz or if it would be better to simplify the code? I can try and measure the difference in start up time for particular hardware combinations, but I'm not sure how far that will get us. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-mmc" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
