Well board-*.c files need to pass information about which MMC
controllers are enabled. I'll have some patches soon that should clean
up the remaining MMC init issues, but does not solve this issue.
Basically board-*.c files need to pass something like
struct omap_mmc_platform_data **controllers, int nr_controllers
to hsmmc.c to init the right instances.
I'm in process of chaning omap2_init_mmc() so hsmmc_init will call
it with something like this:
static struct omap_mmc_platform_data *board_hsmmc_data[OMAP34XX_NR_MMC];
void __init hsmmc_init(void)
{
omap2_init_mmc(board_hsmmc_data, OMAP34XX_NR_MMC);
}
Need to test the patches a bit more before I can post them.
Regards,
Tony
