Hi Saugata,

Does the spec mandates you to set the power class to what is needed by
frequency/voltage combination? I can't see that mentioned anywhere
explicitly in eMMC4.5 spec (if it is mentioned in spec, please let me know
section and line number). It may be still possible to set the power class
lower than what is needed by frequency/voltage combination. Say for example,
8-bit HS200 (200MHz) with high voltage cards may specify power class
(PWR_CL_200_3_6) value of 14 (800 mA) but that doesn't mean if you want the
card to work in 8-bit HS200 mode, its POWER_CLASS value must be 14 (800mA).
If host's VDD regulator is only capable of say 600mA then it may still set
the POWER_CLASS to 12 (600 mA) which should be the indication to card that
host power supply is capable of sourcing only 600mA and I would assume card
will make sure that it doesn't draw anything more than that. 

Hi Girish,

I see couple of other issues with your original power_class selection patch.
1. mmc_select_powerclass() function considers 2.7v to 3.2v VDD range as
invalid. That's not correct. Valid high voltage range is from 2.7v to 3.6v.
Is there a specific reason you have skipped the 2.7v to 3.2v VDD range? If
not, I should post following change:

--- a/drivers/mmc/core/mmc.c
+++ b/drivers/mmc/core/mmc.c

        case MMC_VDD_32_33:
        case MMC_VDD_33_34:
        case MMC_VDD_34_35:

2.  Currently in mmc_init_card(), power class selection is done if it's
normal (DS or HS) or DDR or HS200 card.
    If power class selection fails (mmc_select_powerclass() returns error)
for DS/HS/DDR cards, we are just printing the error and going ahead with the
rest of the initialization where as if power class selection fails for HS200
cards, we are simply aborting the  
    initialization and mark it as failed. 

   There are my points:
       1.  Power class failure must be treated in same manner for
DS/HS/DDR/HS200 cards
       2.  If you agree on first point then we need to decide whether power
class selection failure is fatal enough to abort the MMC initialization? or
we can just print the warning and go ahead with rest of the initialization
in same bus speed mode?
