Hi Geert,
You are correct, there is no way to distinguish between the old and new kernels
just by mmc ios output when the bus is down. I don't think it's an issue. I
find it more helpful to have this information available.
Yes, actual_clock should only display when non-zero and it should be zero when
the bus is down. I fixed this in v2.
Kind regards,
Tamas
