Re: [PATCH RFC v1 2/2] mmc: host: meson-mx-sdhc: new driver for the Amlogic Meson SDHC host

Hello Jianxin,

I thought I'd put my questions inline again so it's easier to follow me.
I hope you can help clarify some of the questions I have.

my EC-100 board uses high-speed MMC (no HS-200) mode only and it's
really bad there
on Odroid-C1 the MMC the performance is at ~70% of the 3.10 kernel driver

my thinking is that phase tuning "fixes" the performance on Odroid-C1
(EC-100 doesn't use tuning because it's not using HS-200 mode).
I could be wrong here though. Please let me know if you have any suggestions

this MMC clock frequency to RX clock phase mapping only seems to work
for FCLK_DIV3
how do I calculate this dynamically?

are there any constraints for the divider?
the driver from the Amlogic kernel sources does this, but I'm not sure
what this is trying to achieve (and why):
       clk_div = input_rate / clk_ios - !(input_rate%clk_ios);
       if (!(clk_div & 0x01)) // if even number, turn it to an odd one
          clk_div++;

do you know the actual busy timeout of this IP block?


Thank you for your time!
