Hi Ulf,
I'm not familiar with mmc, but I've some questions on sd below.

Earlier all cards where initiated with bus mode set as OPENDRAIN, and then

MMC cards use OPENDRAIN during init. For both SD and SDIO the bus mode shall
be PUSHPULL before attempting to init the card.
AFAIK, there is no open drain mode in sd, and the sd host controller
actually does not care about this setting(sdhci_set_ios does not
manipulate bus_mode stored in ios).
We are currently using a ARM PL18X derivative with added SDIO support
meaning we have one host controller for both MMC, SD and SDIO. This
means that we have to take action on the open drain bit in our host
driver (mmci.c) and set it as indicated by the framework. During card
detection (and likewise during reinitialization after being powered off
due to power save features), the former implementation actually sets
open drain as default, meaning that open drain is set during early card
detection of both MMC, SD and SDIO cards/devices, and then later
switched to push pull which we believe is not correct for SD and SDIO.
The consequence of having incorrect bus mode can lead to not being able
to detect the card. Therefore the default behavior have now been changed to
PUSHPULL in mmc_power_up, and will only be temporarily switched when trying
to attach or init a MMC card.
Do you see any sd cards that failed to be detected due to the incorrect
bus_mode setting?
We have not seen any SD card fail due to this, but the SDIO device we
have connected (WLAN) does fail to be detected if bus mode is
incorrectly set to open drain during card detect (mmc_rescan).
Anyway, your patch removed an unnecessary call to mmc_set_bus_mode which
should have no effect if the underlying controller is sdhci.
Great, thanks for your feeback! :o)
