Well, we need to consider more thing..
Host can get the number of slot from SDMMC_GET_SLOT_NUM().
But i think this way also has the problem.

num_slot isn't defined anywhere, and num_slot should be set to value of SDMMC_GET_SLOT_NUM.
If that value is higher than 1, it should be blocking..(I didn't test all cases..)

Even though this patch is not correct, i could check the problem relevant to num_slot, because of this patch. :)

my suggestion is if pdata->num_slot is not defined anywhere, just set to 1 by default.
not take from SDMMC_GET_SLOT_NUM.

if (host->pdata->nums_slots < 1 || 
	host->pdata->nums_slots > SDMMC_GET_SLOT_NUM())

This is correct condition. num_slots can't be higher than number of supported slots.
how about?
