The capabilities of the SDHCI host controller are read early during the SDHCI host initialisation in sdhci_setup_host() and before any regulators for the host have been requested. This means that if the host supports some high-speed modes (according to its capabilities register), but the board cannot because the appropriate voltage regulator is not available, then the host cannot easily override the capabilities that are supported. To allow a SDHCI host controller to determine if it can support high speed modes via the presense of the MMC regulators, request the regulators before reading the capabilites of the host controller. This will allow the SDHCI host to use the 'reset' callback to take the appropriate action (set flags, configure registers, etc) before the capabilities register(s) are read. Please note that some SDHCI hosts, such as the Tegra SDHCI host, has the ability to mask bits in the capabilities register to prevent certain capabilities from being advertised. Signed-off-by: Jon Hunter <jonathanh@xxxxxxxxxx> --- Although this is described as a "V2" this patch has been added since the original patch was posted. If the below is deemed not appropriate, then another solution I was thinking of is to allow the SDHCI host to call 'mmc_regulator_get_supply' before calling sdhci_setup_host() and then in sdhci_setup_host() check if any regulators are already present before calling mmc_regulator_get_supply(). drivers/mmc/host/sdhci.c | 16 +++++++++++----- 1 file changed, 11 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/mmc/host/sdhci.c b/drivers/mmc/host/sdhci.c index 2ee8bfa77116..628c4b3558c0 100644 --- a/drivers/mmc/host/sdhci.c +++ b/drivers/mmc/host/sdhci.c @@ -3021,6 +3021,17 @@ int sdhci_setup_host(struct sdhci_host *host) mmc = host->mmc; + /* + * If there are external regulators, get them.
