Re: [PATCH v2] mmc: sdhci: add quirk for broken write protect detection

ïI totally agree with Eli. The devicetree should read something like "WP is not present" (which will be the case on all micro SD readers). Having "WP is inverted" there is just misleading.

On our boards, I use MIO0 as a "heartbeat" LED. Combined with a quirk in XPS and/or Vivado that the pinmuxing for the WP line is actually routed to MIO0 when you request it to be unrouted or to EMIO, this made the WP line on our systems appear as semi-random.

Hello Michal.

The Zybo board doesn't have any WP pin connected to the MicroSD card. There is
no physical possibility for the processor to know whether the card is
write-protected or not.

As I mentioned earlier, the practical problem can be worked around by
inverting the polarity of the WP bit, using wp-inverted. Practically speaking,
there's no need for this patch.

I insisted on this patch, because I think that the device tree should reflect
the hardware as it is, and not contain tricks for fooling the driver into
doing what we want. But I guess this wasn't a reason good enough for adding
yet another quirk (to the existing 38 or so).

Eli

Mike:
"I think I found the issue. In ps7_init.c as generated by the tools, it sets
the "WP" pin not to EMIO, but to MIO 0. We use pin 0 for a status LED.

# devmem 0XF8000830
0x002E0000

Register 0XF8000830 is SD0_WP_CD_SEL, and 0x002E0000 sets CD to pin 46 and
WP to pin "0", not to EMIO as I specified in the design.
"

Eli: Maybe you have the same issue as Mike. Can you please check it?
