The busy status bit could occurred even if no busy response is
expected (example cmd11). On sdmmc variant, the busy_detect_flag
reflects inverted value of d0 state, it's sampled at the end of a
CMD response and a second time 2 clk cycles after the CMD response.
To avoid a fake busy, the busy status could be checked and polled
only if the command has RSP_BUSY flag.

I would appreciate a better explanation of what this patch really changes.

The above is giving some background to the behavior of sdmmc variant,
but at this point that variant doesn't even have the
->variant->busy_detect flag set.


Yes, I will try to explain more and focus on common behavior.

All the changes above makes perfect sense to me, but looks more like a
cleanup of the code, rather than actually changing the behavior.

yes, few changing (this just avoid to enter in
"if (host->variant->busy_detect)") at each time.
I could move this part in cleanup patch (before this patch)

Sounds good to me!

This doesn't make sense to me, but I may be missing something.

host->busy_status is being updated by mmci_cmd_irq() and only when
MMC_RSP_BUSY is set for the command in flight. In other words,
checking for MMC_RSP_BUSY here as well is redundant. No?

In mmci_irq the "do while" loops until the status is totally cleared.

Today (for variant with busy_detect option), the status busy_detect_flag
is excluded only while busy_status period (command with MMC_RSP_BUSY and
while busy line is low => "busy_status=1")

On SDMMC variant I noticed that busy_detect_flag status could be enabled
even if the command is not MMC_RSP_BUSY, for example sdmmc variant stay
in loop while cmd11 voltage switch.

Right, I see.


So I wish extend host->variant->busy_detect_flag exclusion for all
commands which is not a MMC_RSP_BUSY. I suppose that other variants
could have the same behavior, and else there is no impact, normally.

I am guessing this is because the variant->busy_dpsm_flag has been set
in the datactrl register, which is needed for mmci_card_busy().

That said, I am kind of wondering if we ever should need repeat the
while loop if 'status' contains the bit for
host->variant->busy_detect_flag. I mean we have already called
mmci_cmd_irq() to handle it.

So, couldn't we just always do:

if (host->variant->busy_detect_flag)
status &= ~host->variant->busy_detect_flag;

No?

yes that make sense, I launched tests on sdmmc and it's ok.
I think, that we could take on this solution.

If it's ok for you, I resend a series with all modifications.
