Hi Guennadi, Thanks for your response and for your review. I kind of assumed you had some related hw to test the patches on. :-) Do you have any advise on whom I could ask for help here then? I really would like to the see the MMC_CLKGATE code to go away and an option could be to just remove it, especially since no defconfig make use of it. My posted patches for sh_mmcif could then if needed be picked up as a later task. BTW, I have prepared similar patches done for sh_mmcif to tmio/sh_mobile, soon ready for posting. Any thoughts?
