[Liming] It is definitely not anybody's fault. My apology that I should have made it very clear. This is a new SoC which uses two eMMC cards. This feature has been requested by customer. We made it working with patches, then realized that the support for the 2nd card was removed recently from upstream kernel. To avoid reinventing the wheel, a better approach appears to bring back the changes. > > Are there any patches for using multi slot? > e,g) device-tree file or your own driver [Liming] Patch 9/8 and 9/9 are the changes to fix the multi-slot support. We follow the original "Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mmc/synopsys-dw-mshc.txt" for device configuration. There is no device-tree patches since there is no changes to any of the documentation syntax. Just in case you might be interested, below is the ACPI table we used to include the two slots. It's defined according to synopsys-dw-mshc.txt and seems working. Device (MMC0) { Name (_HID, "PRP0001") Name (_UID, Zero) Name (_CCA, 1) Name (_CRS, ResourceTemplate() { Memory32Fixed(ReadWrite, 0x6008000, 0x400) Interrupt(ResourceConsumer, Level, ActiveHigh, Exclusive) { 64 } }) // Common configuration Name(_DSD, Package() { ToUUID("daffd814-6eba-4d8c-8a91-bc9bbf4aa301"), Package() { Package () { "compatible", Package () {"snps,dw-mshc"}}, Package () { "fifo-depth", 0x100 }, Package () { "clock-frequency", 24000000 }, Package () { "cap-mmc-highspeed", 1 }, Package () { "card-detect-delay", 200 }, Package () { "num-slots", 2 } } }) // Slot-0 Device (SLT0) { Name(_DSD, Package() { ToUUID("daffd814-6eba-4d8c-8a91-bc9bbf4aa301"), Package() { Package () { "reg", 0 }, // physical slot number Package () { "bus-width", 8 } // bus width (8-bit) } }) } // Slot-1 Device (SLT1) { Name(_DSD, Package() { ToUUID("daffd814-6eba-4d8c-8a91-bc9bbf4aa301"), Package() { Package () { "reg", 1 }, // physical slot number Package () { "bus-width", 4 } // bus width (4-bit) } }) } } > > If there are big benefits to revert them, i don't want to back them..during > almost 6 years, never use it.. [Liming] Yeah, I could imagine it. Earlier the multi-slot didn't work well at all. We debug it on HW emulation to figure it out. The changes are not big though. We have customers asking for it. It'll be very helpful to re-enable the multi-card support. > > > > >> > >> The second part (patches 8-9) fixes the DesignWare multi-card support > >> according to the dw-mmc databook (synnopsys: DesignWare Cores > Mobile > >> Storage Host Databook, 2.70a).

[Liming] This one is the spec I used as reference for all the changes and testing. I didn't go through previous versions due to the limitation of testing environment I have. As you mentioned, there is no multi-card usage earlier and this SoC is probably the first product to use it in real-world. So adding a version check seems safe (so it won't unnecessarily break anything just in case) .
