Ah geez, yeah this something else I was hoping to avoid with the V1 patch - an endless stream of "oh shit, this card's even /moore/ broken!  Patch it, patch it good"

Pierre, thoughts?  All my cards were borderline spec but Hein's got a mainstream, common card which seems to completely ignore the spec.  Can we just take the few-hundred-uS hit and allow initialization down at the bottom end, say 100kHz?

<overkill> Or a KConfig option? </overkill>

Broken cards seem to be all over the spectrum, so I wouldn't be
suprised if you find ones that break if you go too low as well.

Basically you'll just have to try something and watch the bug reports.
Perhaps doing the bisect approach and choosing the intermediate value
each time? I.e. halvway between 400 and 100 for now (250). If that is
too fast, then halway between that and 100 (175), and so on.

Yea good point, though given there might not even be a One Freq to Rule Them All, how about:

From: Ben Nizette <bn@niasdigital.com>
Subject: [PATCH v3] mmc: Make ID freq configurable

While the SD spec specifies a range of frequencies for the ID phase from 100-400kHz, not all cards play by the rules.  This patch adds a Kconfig option to allow the user to tweak this to their card/host config, though the default of 250kHz should be fine for all spec-abiding cards and most others besides.

Don't know that a kconfig option is best for this, it'd suck to have to 
recompile the kernel to change it. Module option might be better..

This is not a good solution. We all use the same pool of cards so we
should all be using the same init sequence. If there isn't a single
frequency where all cards will work, then we'll have to make something
more advanced where the kernel will try the init several times with
different clocking.

As I'm lucky to have main-stream cards that break the rule (on
avr32/AP7) I'll dive deeper into it and see if I can make it "automatic"
so that initialization will work for any of cards. Indeed using a kind
of 'bisect approach' approach.
... although I must say that before Sascha Hauer's patch, we never had
problems with any of the cards, using the controller's minimum freq of
137 Khz.

I tried out several main-stream sd-cards and with the Atmel (AP7) controller
they all initialize with F between 138 (=f_min) and 280 Khz.

Below a patch which tries mmc-initialization using several frequencies
from an array 400, 300, 200 and 100. When it comes to 200 Khz, it works.
The two failed attempts lasted about 10 ms together.

It looks like a hell-of-a-patch but that's because the indentation changes.

Note that the new mmc_host member f_init will be used later in power_restore
and resume. As power_up always comes first, it should have a descend value
by then.

But I still wonder, why not just keep using Sascha's patch, changing 400000
to 50000? Has anyone ever had problems with mmc-init on 50 Khz?

I already wrote it to Hein in private, once again for the rest:

The original reason to increase the minimum frequency was that the
Freescale i.MX MMC core allows minimum frequencies of just a few Hz.
With this the card initialisation took ages, so we increased the minimum
frequency. 400kHz seemed like a good value since all cards should
support this, but I'm also fine with any other value between 50kHz and
400kHz.

Hi,

This looks like the best of the min_freq patches I've seen, and is
implementing a suggestion of Pierre's.  Should we take it?

Hi Chris,

Thanks. I can confirm that the above patch has been working properly for
7 months now, using various SD-cards.

Here it tries 3 frequencies, which takes 290 ms:

   000 mmc_rescan: trying 400000 Hz
       Waiting 1sec before mounting root device...
   061 mci: F now 400000 (actual 397727)
       usb 1-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
   126 mmc_rescan: trying 300000 Hz
       input: eGalax Inc. USB TouchController as /class/input/input1
   193 mci: F now 300000 (actual 299145)
   227 mmc_rescan: trying 200000 Hz
   255 mci: F now 200000 (actual 200000)
   290 mmc0: new SD card at address e624

In a meanwhile it is doing other things, so not much time is wasted.
But most importantly: it never failed to initialize a card.
