Subject: [PATCH] mmc_spi: fail gracefully if host or card do not support the switch command

From: Wolfgang Muees <[email protected]>

The switch command (typically speed switching from 25 to 50 MHz clock)
can be rejected by _both_ the host controller/driver and by the card.
Elder revisions of the SD card do not support speed switching.
Fail gracefully if the reject is comming from the card.

Have you ever seen this in practice? For SD there are several checks
before the switch command is actually issued. Sounds like there is
something else wrong here. Have you turned off your EMP thingy? ;)

Yes, I have. An old 1 GByte SD card.

But there are two cases not covered by these checks:

a) the switch command is supported, but the card is not capable of switching
to 50 MHz.

b) the card rejects the switch command in SPI mode, because it is not
mandatory here.

So yes, the checks can be improved. But only extending the error codes was a
simple, fast and minimal solution.

But a successful switch command (even if the response is that the card
cannot do it) should not need the checks you added. The switch data
structure is checked further down.

I cannot see anything in the spec backing up this claim.
