Ralph Droms <rdroms.ietf@xxxxxxxxx> reported that 3.9-rc was breaking the SDIO interface on his Sheevaplug platform, and that the recent changes to the mvsdio driver are responsible for this breakage. After investigation, is turns out that the Sheevaplug does not have any "card detect" GPIO, and the Sheevaplug has not been converted to the Device Tree. Therefore, the Sheevaplug board code does not define a value for the .gpio_card_detect field of the mvsdio_platform_data structure, which means that its value is 0. Unfortunately, gpio_is_valid() considers 0 as a valid GPIO, and therefore calls mmc_gpio_request_cd(), which fails and makes the entire probing of the driver fail. In fact, in the previous mvsdio code, before the Device Tree binding was introduced, 0 was not considered as a valid GPIO. Therefore, this fix revert back to this behavior in the non-DT case, by setting the gpio_card_detect and gpio_write_protect local variables to -EINVAL when the corresponding fields of the mvsdio_platform_data structure are set to zero (i.e, left undefined). Of course, it prevents to use GPIO 0 as a card detect or write protect GPIO, but it was a defiency of the previous non-DT code, and the fix moving forward is to convert platforms to the Device Tree. The problem has been reproduced successfully on the Kirkwood-based Marvell DB-88F6281-BP Development Board (that doesn't use the Device Tree) and the fix has proven to work properly, after of course removing the gpio_card_detect field of the mvsdio_platform_data instance for this board.
