I get your point, but.. considering maintaince from mmc code point of view, I don't like the suggested approach in $subject patch. As this patch anyway requires updating DTBs, I would like to know the involved platforms and at what level of deployment the DTBs are in. In principle what I am asking is, how hard is it to update the DTBs? BTW, is it only sdhci-of-esdhc.c we are discussing here? > > In general it is not reasonable to expect device trees to enumerate > hardware bugs since the bugs (or the need to work aronud them) are often > discovered after the device tree has been created. > > Yangbo, when I asked why you couldn't use SVR you said that it was a > common SDHC file.
