Dear Russel, I have a full-fledged driver working with NO problems. It has been developed long back. Now the issue here is to add the partitions support to the existing driver.
I guess it will involve enough amount of work. If NOT, please provide me the documentation if available, HOW-TO use the MMC layer. If the requirement was BIG & bulky what you suggested might have been apt. If I can solve it in less effort why go for more effort. I can always integrate it with main-steam kernel letter. This is the PEAK time & I am required to submit the patch as soon as possible. Please understand the reason behind it. I assure you that I will use the kernel MMC & accomplish what u said within next month? But for now how to implement the partition support in the driver will be very helpfull.
