At this point mmc_do_hw_reset is _not_ used. Instead mmc_hw_reset_for_init, which onlcy makes use of host->ops->hw_reset, no "power_restore" of course. So this has no issues whatsoever with this patch. 2. At blk request errors, which I thought we were discussing from the beginning. In this case mmc_do_hw_reset is used.

The card has responded with an error, but that does not have to mean that it is completely "unresponsive". > -- 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
