Right, that's the main one i had in mind -- the binding, and the driver, allow for multiple slots but we've been searching high and low for an actual SoC that implements that, and none seem to do it. So the additional overhead is just wasted, and there's been talk of bringing the binding more in line with a single-slot driver instead. It makes a lot of sense to do. -Olof -- 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
