num_slots comes from pdata if existing, otherwise from

treat this a optional case as it will call SDMMC_GET_SLOT_NUM
if no slot assigned.

Well, we need to consider more thing..
Host can get the number of slot from SDMMC_GET_SLOT_NUM().
But i think this way also has the problem.

num_slot isn't defined anywhere, and num_slot should be set to value of SDMMC_GET_SLOT_NUM.
If that value is higher than 1, it should be blocking..(I didn't test all cases..)


Actually, from the code itself, it confused me the way about how we get
num_slot. At leaset, we might should try to cleanup it someway to make
it a little more clear. And just as what you point out, we see some
broblem here.

Even though this patch is not correct, i could check the problem relevant to num_slot, because of this patch. :)


Nice to here that. I make it a RFC patch since I also not quite sure
about all cases including some corner cases. Let's think it twice.

my suggestion is if pdata->num_slot is not defined anywhere, just set to 1 by default.
not take from SDMMC_GET_SLOT_NUM.


yes, SDMMC_GET_SLOT_NUM is the capability of controller, num_slot is
hardware wired number. So, geting it from SDMMC_GET_SLOT_NUM has
problem.

if (host->pdata->nums_slots < 1 ||
	host->pdata->nums_slots > SDMMC_GET_SLOT_NUM())

This is correct condition. num_slots can't be higher than number of supported slots.
how about?

Seems reasonable.
I guess you want to come up with a new patch dealing with it? :)
