Re: [PATCH] mmc: Added quirks for Ricoh 1180:e823 lower base clockfrequency

There's an erroneous ")" in this string; I'll replace it with a "." if
this patch goes in via my tree. Also, let's make it "MMC controller"
instead of just "Controller".

Oops, I can fix that and resend, or would you rather make the change while (if) applying to your tree?

}
DECLARE_PCI_FIXUP_EARLY(PCI_VENDOR_ID_RICOH, PCI_DEVICE_ID_RICOH_R5C832, ricoh_mmc_fixup_r5c832);
DECLARE_PCI_FIXUP_RESUME_EARLY(PCI_VENDOR_ID_RICOH, PCI_DEVICE_ID_RICOH_R5C832, ricoh_mmc_fixup_r5c832);

Have you checked to see how SD I/O performance differs after this change?

(If this is significant, perhaps we want to try lowering the frequency
only after a card starts returning errors, since some cards work fine
at the higher frequency.)


This is something I thought about too, I can try and get some data on the cards (that already works) with the patch applied. Do you have any specific benchmarks in mind that you would like me to run? Or will timing read and write will work?

Thanks a ton!
