Re: [PATCH v4] mmc: litex_mmc: Set mandatory idle clocks before CMD0

From: Gabriel L. Somlo

Date: Mon May 18 2026 - 18:21:11 EST


with this patch on top of today's latest (4d3a2a466b8d), I get
(on 64-bit rocketchip with Litex):

[ 6.475114] mmc0: invalid bus width
[ 6.477870] mmc0: error -22 whilst initialising SD card

Thanks,
