The patch titled mmc_spi: use EILSEQ for possible transmission errors has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mmc_spi-use-eilseq-for-possible-transmission-errors.patch This patch was dropped because an updated version will be merged The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/ ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: mmc_spi: use EILSEQ for possible transmission errors From: Wolfgang Muees <wolfgang.mues@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Change the reported error code for the responses to a command from EINVAL/EIO to EILSEQ, as EINVAL is reserved for non-recoverable host errors, and the responses from the SD/MMC card may be because of recoverable transmission errors in the command or in the response. Response codes are NOT protected by a checksum, so don't trust them.
