Andrey,
Reverting b5874b552f ("mmc: fsl_esdhc_imx: add wait_dat0() support")
does not resolve the issue. That function waits for a specified
timeout for the card to assert DAT[0] either high or low depending on
arg and is used to check for command busy or failure. The patch in
question adds that function so that the common mmc code can utilize
it. If the function does not exist in the host controller driver any
call to mmc_wait_dat0 returns -ENOSYS so it must be there to support
UHS anyway.
What is not clear to me is why the card would hold DAT[0] low on the
voltage switch indicating a failure as it does not in the Linux driver
which appears to me to be doing the same thing. Again, if we ignore
the return code UHS works fine and I'm not at all clear why you
wouldn't run into this issue:
diff --git a/drivers/mmc/mmc.c b/drivers/mmc/mmc.c
index a6394bc..5ea3cd2 100644

*/
err = mmc_wait_dat0(mmc, 1, 1000);
+#if 0 // hack: not clear why card always holds DAT[0] high here on
fsl_esdhc_imx
if (err == -ENOSYS)
udelay(1000);
else if (err)
return -ETIMEDOUT;
+#endif
return 0;
}
Honestly I don't have the time to keep delving into this. I don't have
any reason to believe that UHS has ever worked with fsl_esdhc_imx and
because my boards boot from eMMC (and HS200/HS400 works) I'm not
missing out on much by having a slow microSD.
Best regards,
Tim
