RE: [PATCH V1 1/2] mmc: core: Define new vendor ops to enable internal features

[Sarthak Garg (QUIC)]

Hi linus,

Thanks for your comments.

As mentioned in the cover letter that these ops are needed to implement clock scaling and partial init features for which we already had below discussions but faced strong resistance from community. Since these were huge code changes so maintainability was the main concern. Hence I have redesigned our entire logic and moved complete code to vendor specific file and to support this new design now I just need these two hooks in suspend and resume functions that’s why I have added these callbacks in host_ops.

I can rename these to vendor_suspend/resume ops to let vendor modify few things needed in suspend/resume paths. Also if you want to suggest any better name then I am open for that also.

Old discussion for Clock scaling feature :

Old discussion for Partial init feature :

Thanks,
Sarthak
