Subject: [PATCH 5/6] Unified AVR32/AT91 MCI Driver Support for a VCC Pin

Add support to the atmel-mci driver for a VCC pin in order to conserve
power if the MMC interface is powered down.

Please read the whole set, try it out, and comment.

Thank you,

Rob Emanuele

Can you elaborate a bit more. In particular, I do not understand the
concept of "vcc_pin_act_low".

Thanks. Bye,

Like the original at91_mci driver, this patch adds the ability to use
a pin to toggle 3.3V power going to the SD Card. In my case the pin
is tied to a International Rectifier 6420 P-type MOSFET since a port
pin alone cannot drive the SD Card. When I pull the vcc_pin low, 3.3V
can reach the SD Card to power it. The "vcc_pin_act_low" (pin active
low) determines which way the pin should be pulled to enable power to
the SD Card. If vcc_pin_act_low is true, when the card needs to get
powered up, it sets the vcc_pin low. Other board designs may need a
pin driven high to power the SD Card.

Thanks,

Rob

Maybe, just 'vcc_active_low' is more clear?

Most other kernel code use 'active_low' or 'xyz_active_low' as far as I can
see.

That would be fine with me.
