Girish K S bec8726abc mmc: core: Add Power Off Notify Feature eMMC 4.5
This patch adds support for the power off notify feature, available in
eMMC 4.5 devices. If the host has support for this feature, then the
mmc core will notify the device by setting the POWER_OFF_NOTIFICATION
byte in the extended csd register with a value of 1 (POWER_ON).

For suspend mode short timeout is used, whereas for the normal poweroff
long timeout is used.

Arindam Nath b513ea250e mmc: sd: add support for tuning during uhs initialization
Host Controller needs tuning during initialization to operate SDR50
and SDR104 UHS-I cards. Whether SDR50 mode actually needs tuning is
indicated by bit 45 of the Host Controller Capabilities register.
A new command CMD19 has been defined in the Physical Layer spec
v3.01 to request the card to send tuning pattern.

We enable Buffer Read Ready interrupt at the very begining of tuning
procedure, because that is the only interrupt generated by the Host
Controller during tuning. We program the block size to 64 in the
Block Size register. We make sure that DMA Enable and Multi Block
Select in the Transfer Mode register are set to 0 before actually
sending CMD19. The tuning block is sent by the card to the Host
Controller using DAT lines, so we set Data Present Select (bit 5) in
the Command register. The Host Controller is responsible for doing
the verfication of tuning block sent by the card at the hardware
level. After sending CMD19, we wait for Buffer Read Ready interrupt.
In case we don't receive an interrupt after the specified timeout
value, we fall back on fixed sampling clock by setting Execute
Tuning (bit 6) and Sampling Clock Select (bit 7) of Host Control2
register to 0. Before exiting the tuning procedure, we disable Buffer
Read Ready interrupt and re-enable other interrupts.

Tested by Zhangfei Gao with a Toshiba uhs card and general hs card,
on mmp2 in SDMA mode.

Chuanxiao Dong 709de99df0 mmc: export eMMC4.4 enhanced area details to sysfs
Enhanced area feature is a new feature defined in eMMC4.4 standard. This
user data area provides higher performance/reliability, at the expense
of using twice the effective media space due to the area using SLC.

The MMC driver now reads out the enhanced area offset and size and adds
them to the device attributes in sysfs. Enabling the enhanced area can
only be done once, and should be done in manufacturing. To use this
feature, bit ERASE_GRP_DEF should also be set.

Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-devices-mmc describes the two new
attributes.

Adrian Hunter dfe86cba76 mmc: add erase, secure erase, trim and secure trim operations
SD/MMC cards tend to support an erase operation.  In addition, eMMC v4.4
cards can support secure erase, trim and secure trim operations that are
all variants of the basic erase command.

SD/MMC device attributes "erase_size" and "preferred_erase_size" have been
added.

"erase_size" is the minimum size, in bytes, of an erase operation.  For
MMC, "erase_size" is the erase group size reported by the card.  Note that
"erase_size" does not apply to trim or secure trim operations where the
minimum size is always one 512 byte sector.  For SD, "erase_size" is 512
if the card is block-addressed, 0 otherwise.

SD/MMC cards can erase an arbitrarily large area up to and
including the whole card.  When erasing a large area it may
be desirable to do it in smaller chunks for three reasons:

    1. A single erase command will make all other I/O on the card
       wait.  This is not a problem if the whole card is being erased, but
       erasing one partition will make I/O for another partition on the
       same card wait for the duration of the erase - which could be a
       several minutes.

    2. To be able to inform the user of erase progress.

    3. The erase timeout becomes too large to be very useful.
       Because the erase timeout contains a margin which is multiplied by
       the size of the erase area, the value can end up being several
       minutes for large areas.

"erase_size" is not the most efficient unit to erase (especially for SD
where it is just one sector), hence "preferred_erase_size" provides a good
chunk size for erasing large areas.

For MMC, "preferred_erase_size" is the high-capacity erase size if a card
specifies one, otherwise it is based on the capacity of the card.

For SD, "preferred_erase_size" is the allocation unit size specified by
the card.

"preferred_erase_size" is in bytes.

Adrian Hunter 7198f3c9b1 mmc: fix incorrect interpretation of card type bits
In the extended CSD register the CARD_TYPE is an 8-bit value of which the
upper 6 bits were reserved in JEDEC specifications prior to version 4.4.
In version 4.4 two of the reserved bits were designated for identifying
support for the newly added High-Speed Dual Data Rate.  Unfortunately the
mmc_read_ext_csd() function required that the reserved bits be zero
instead of ignoring them as it should.

This patch makes mmc_read_ext_csd() ignore the CARD_TYPE bits that are
reserved or not yet supported.  It also stops the function jumping to the
end as though an error occurred, when it is only warns that the CARD_TYPE
bits (that it does interpret) are invalid.

When SD showed up, the bus topology was abandoned
and a star topology (one card per host) was mandated.
MMC version 4 has followed this, officially deprecating
the bus topology.

As we do not have any known users of the bus
topology we can remove support for it. This will

Philip Langdale fba68bd2da mmc: Add support for SDHC cards
Thanks to the generous donation of an SDHC card by John Gilmore, and
the surprisingly enlightened decision by the SD Card Association to
publish useful specs, I've been able to bash out support for SDHC. The
changes are not too profound:

i) Add a card flag indicating the card uses block level addressing and
check it in the block driver. As we never took advantage of byte-level
addressing, this simply involves skipping the block -> byte
translation when sending commands.

ii) The layout of the CSD is changed - a set of fields are discarded
to make space for a larger C_SIZE. We did not reference any of the
discarded fields except those related to the C_SIZE.

iii) Read and write timeouts are fixed values and not calculated from
CSD values.

iv) Before invoking SEND_APP_OP_COND, we must invoke the new
SEND_IF_COND to inform the card we support SDHC.

Pierre Ossman 335eadf2ef [PATCH] sd: initialize SD cards
Support for the Secure Digital protocol in the MMC layer.

A summary of the legal issues surrounding SD cards, as understood by yours
truly:

Members of the Secure Digital Association, hereafter SDA, are required to sign
a NDA[1] before given access to any specifications.  It has been speculated
that including an SD implementation would forbid these members to redistribute
Linux.  This is the basic problem with SD support so it is unclear if it even
is a problem since it has no effect on those of us that aren't members.

The SDA doesn't seem to enforce these rules though since the patches included
here are based on documentation made public by some of the members.  The most
complete specs[2] are actually released by Sandisk, one of the founding
companies of the SDA.

Because of this the NDA is considered a non-issue by most involved in the
discussions concerning these patches.  It might be that the SDA is only
interested in protecting the so called "secure" bits of SD, which so far
hasn't been found in any public spec.  (The card is split into two sections,
one "normal" and one "secure" which has an access scheme similar to TPM:s).

(As a side note, Microsoft is working to make things easier for us since they
want to be able to include the source code for a SD driver in one of their
development kits.  HP is making sure that the new NDA will allow a Linux
implementation.  So far only the SDIO specs have been opened up[3].  More will
hopefully follow.)

This patch contains the central parts of the SD support.  If no MMC cards are
found on a bus then the MMC layer proceeds looking for SD cards.  Helper
functions are extended to handle the special needs of SD cards.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
