Anyway, u can try such delay like msleep(100) in cd_irq() before calling
tasklet_schedule(&sdhost->card_tasklet). Yes, this is not a proper fix even
it works:-)

Yes, gpio card detection should better use the existing framework 
offered by slot-gpio.
Then the fake-card-present will be unnecessary. BTW, sdhci-s3c.c also 
dose not use slot-gpio,
and then it also adds some tricky logic for gpio detection. U can check 
sdhci_s3c_notify_change(),
which dynamically set/clear SDHCI_QUIRK_BROKEN_CARD_DETECTION. This 
patch adding
mmc_gpio_get_cd(), bec9d4e5939987053169a9bb48fc58b6a2d3e237, mentioned 
this 1stly.

But using SDHCI_QUIRK_BROKEN_CARD_DETECTION to do such judging in 
sdhci_request()
is still not proper. I think this is the root causing such above 
workarounds.

So I am thinking of adding a new operation like get_card_presence into 
sdhci_ops,
and then different host drivers can implement differently by themselves, 
eg, for
sdhci-esdhc-imx.c,

static bool esdhc_get_card_presence(struct sdhci_host *host)
{
bool present = true;

if (detection_type == ESDHC_CD_CONTROLLER)
present = sdhci_readl(host, SDHCI_PRESENT_STATE) & SDHCI_CARD_PRESENT;
else if (detection_type == ESDHC_CD_GPIO) {
if (gpio_get_value(boarddata->cd_gpio))
/* no card, if a valid gpio says so... */
present = false;
}

return present;
}


But this will also cause lots of host drivers corresponding changes. Oh, 
still inconvenient:-(
Any better ideas?
