Hi Barry,

Did you check the runtime behaviour of the device after this change ?

>From the SiRFprimaII/SiRFatlasVI data sheets, it appears that the
implementation of the SDHCI controller is a modified version of the one
described in the 1.0 specification, and not a normal 3.0 controller.
This explains why the independent development of the 8-bit wide transfer
bus does not use the same bit as the standard one.

As a result, the description of the SPEC_VER field in the
SD_SLOT_INT_STATUS register indicates a read-only value of 0, which
corresponds to SDHCI_SPEC_100 in the "sdhci.h" header. On a real
SiRFatlasVI chip, the value is 0 as well.

I believe the correct change would be to remove the control on the
version >= SDHCI_SPEC_300 in both 4-bit and 8-bit cases, instead of
adding it in both cases. There are no supported SiRF SoCs where the 8-bit
bus is not supported at the controller level.

In my opinion, this should look like this:
 
+static void sdhci_sirf_set_bus_width(struct sdhci_host *host, int width)
+{
+       u8 ctrl;
+
+       ctrl = sdhci_readb(host, SDHCI_HOST_CONTROL);
+       /* The 8-bit bus width configuration bit is not standard */
+       ctrl &= ~(SDHCI_CTRL_4BITBUS | SDHCI_SIRF_8BITBUS);
+       if (width == MMC_BUS_WIDTH_8) {
+               ctrl |= SDHCI_SIRF_8BITBUS;
+       } else if (width == MMC_BUS_WIDTH_4)
+               ctrl |= SDHCI_CTRL_4BITBUS;
+       }
+       sdhci_writeb(host, ctrl, SDHCI_HOST_CONTROL);
+}
+

You can use it verbatim with my signoff if you want.

But you should try it on your board, as I do not have a setup to test
the mainline kernel on SiRFatlasVI available.
