RE: [RFC PATCH] mmc: sprd: add MMC host driver for Spreadtrum SoC

[Billows Wu (武洪涛)]

Hi Rob,

Thanks for your reply.
The MMC subsys core can figure out the type of the device attached. But it happaped after MMC probe function run over. 
If we want to distinguish MMC，SD or Wi-Fi in controller's probe function, we may by controller's register physical address, for example  20600000.sdio，2.400000.sdio or 20300000.sdio.   So we must know MMC controller's physical address is 0x20600000 and SD controller's physical address is 0x20300000. This reduces the code readability. 
If you have a good opinion how to distinguish MMC form SD or SDIO device in host controller probe function not by physical address, please tell us.

Thanks!

I think you're right.
Thanks!
