Hi Ulf Hansson, Thanks for your comments. Such retry mechanism is a simple CMD-level or sdio-core-level retry which takes advantage of the mmc core internal retry. There is not any side effect, but with it, even those SDIO function driver's without its own retrying mechanism can benefit in some conditions. Besides, for CMD52, it can be used during SDIO card initialization/detection phase. At that time, SDIO function driver hasn't started to work. Of course we can probably encounter CMD52 error due to some reasons(eg, board-level schematic bad behavior), and such retry can be a potential workaround. Actually, we've encountered exactly such case in our development.

A retry mechanism is likely very much hw-SDIO device dependent. Upper layers (SDIO func driver) is thus the only software that is able to handle retries correctly.
