[PATCH v5] OMAP: Fix for bus width which improves SD card's peformance.

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This patch improves low speeds for SD cards.
OMAP-MMC controller's can support maximum bus width of '8'.
when bus width is mentioned as "8" in controller data,the SD
stack will check whether bus width is "4" and if not it will
set bus width to "1" and there by degrading performance.
This patch fixes the issue and improves the performance of
SD cards.

Here are my experiment numbers, on a Class 6 SDHC card:
Read peformance is increased by 220%
Write Performance is increased by 52%
