But I see > dw_mci_reset() being called on card removal (after first > insert/removal). Right. The old crufty code was called on the 2nd removal, not the 1st. That meant that the two were accidentally different. My point was that if the old code was really required that someone would have noticed crashes on the 1st removal after each boot. Since nobody is reporting crashes with that then it means it can't be too terrible. One thing to note: I remember in the last Chromebook project you were trying to track down crashes associated with constant eject / insert of SD Cards. I wonder if my patch will fix these crashes? > I tested this on exynos5800 and this looks working fine. We need to > test once cross suspend/resume as well. Good idea. Can you test that? I know that there's been lots of flux with suspend/resume on exynos and I'm not sure I have all the latest patches, but I'll search for them if you are unable to test easily. > And as Jaehoon pointed out,probably lets look in TRM if there are some > recommended steps for cd-detect. > Otherwise this looks good to me. If you see some other requirement than the one I addressed in my email to Jaehoon, please let me know. -Doug -- 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
