Subject: [PATCH] mmc: toughen get_ro() and get_cd() return values
Date: Thu, 5 Jun 2008 21:10:13 +0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080605171013.GA10513@polina.dev.rtsoft.ru> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <200806051759.00202.marc.pignat@hevs.ch>

For the sake of safety, document that drivers should return only
1 or 0 from the get_ro() and get_cd() callbacks. Also document context
in which these callbacks should be executed.

wbsd driver modified to comply with this requirement.

Also, fix mmc_spi driver to not return raw values from the platform
get_cd hook (oops).

Well, ok.

Pierre, I see you didn't yet pushed out the mmc tree, so.. would you
prefer this patch folded into 0/3 series and resent?
