Hello,

http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=kernel/common.git;a=commit;h=f0b0e4bec1e89014f3dcef4da8bcf95428cc771c

This patch doesn't appear to apply for our 8 GByte Micron 4.4 device
MTFC8GKQDI part and probably other Micron parts as well.

I have contacted Micron about the 0xe90000 sector count we read, and
they state that:

"Actually, the boot partition size is in multiples of 128KB, so each
boot partition is 2MB.
There are two of them, so the total is 4MB.
This is not counted as user area, the 0xe90000 is in addition to the
boot and RPMB partitions.  The only time the user area would be
reduced from the SEC_COUNT value would be if you create general
purpose partitions, or enhanced memory areas."

Furthermore, when we access the device, the full 0xe90000 sectors are
accessible and valid in our testing, which confirms the Micron
statement.

This patch is not in the 2.6.36+ kernel.org mmc.c code either, which
also make it suspect.

Could someone please clarify the reasons for this patch? Thanks.

Regards,
Darwin
