Re: [PATCH 1/1] MMC: new version of the TI Flash Media card reader driver

From: Fabio Comolli

Hi.
I just wanted to let you know that I tested the version found in
git-mmc.patch (from latest -mm kernel) with kernel version
2.6.20-rc3-g6a4306b3 (2 or 3 days ago Linus' GIT tree).

No problems so far: the driver seems pretty stable: it survived
various suspend-to-ram and suspend-to-disk attempts without a single
problem, even with the card inserted and filesystem mounted.

Tests were performed with a 2GB SD card, a 512MB MMC card and with a
256 mini-SD.

Best regards,
Fabio

That's a start. But 4 sounds like it could be broken out with some work.

I'm not saying it's trivial to break this apart, but it is something
that needs to be done. At the very least the commit messages need to
reflect what is changed and why.

See it as practice as this is an issue you will be hit by now and then
as a kernel developer. :)
