Re: [PATCH] mmc: dw_mmc: No bus setup if default pinctrl is used

[Dongjin Kim]

Hi Linus,

Thank you for reviewing.

Initially I also considered to use IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_PINCTRL) and
ignore for-block according to its status. But it would make a certain
board failed if gpios is used for pin configuration rather than
default-pinctrl even if CONFIG_PINCTRL is enabled. Also considered to
add a function on pinctrl.c to return if default-pinctrl is used, and
drop down the for-block according to its status. It could replace the
long and complicaed line, IS_ERR(host->dev->pins->default_state), to
simple one as well. :)

The best is obviously to enable CONFIG_PINCTRL and remove the
for-block, it makes the code more simple. I like to have a comment
from Thomas if have to support both cases, gpios and default-pinctrl.

Best regards,
Dongjin.
