I can send a patch if you like. Thanks, let's do it. It would be nice to have a story for how MX1 users can use their hardware with modern kernels, even if it's just "It should be possible to modify the mxcmmc driver to support this older hardware, and the sort of changes that need to be made are <..>". (Dmitry, your patch is fine -- I can remove the imxmmc hunk from it when applying.) - Chris. -- Chris Ball One Laptop Per Child From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: cjb@laptop.org (Chris Ball) Date: Wed, 11 Apr 2012 12:58:58 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] mmc: remove linux/blkdev.h include from host drivers In-Reply-To: <20120411165223.GP3852@pengutronix.de> (Sascha Hauer's message of "Wed, 11 Apr 2012 18:52:23 +0200") References: <1334084783-3572-1-git-send-email-mad_soft@inbox.ru> <87ty0qs2fz.fsf@laptop.org> <20120411165223.GP3852@pengutronix.de> Message-ID: <87pqberyr1.fsf@laptop.org> To: linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org List-Id: linux-arm-kernel.lists.infradead.org Hi, On Wed, Apr 11 2012, Sascha Hauer wrote: >> Should imxmmc simply be removed from drivers/mmc/host?
