We had the same issue with WP on one of our boards and the routing to EMIO approach was one of the solutions I considered. But I could not find documentation on whether and how the pins are tied when the FPGA is not configured or what happens during reconfiguration, is there a chance of glitches. So I went with the software solution of specifying disable-wp for the slot instead. But even if using EMIO works I think correctly describing the hardware, which is that there is no external WP or CD pin connected, is the better approach rather than playing around with invert flags, which has a different semantical meaning. Software can than work with that information and take the approach it is best to handle the situation. And this approach might change if we find better ways to handle it, whereas the hardware description stays static. -- 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
