Hi Hansson: I'm sorry to bother you. One month ago you said you will post some patches and keep my posted, but I can't found the patches or I miss the patches? Users are looking forward to the patch, If you are busy, I'll post a patch to let the retry in mmc core to do nothing just return in rtsx host driver.
