Hi Seungwon/ Jaehoon,
I can see there are at least three patches which address HLE (Hardware
Lock Error) in dw_mmc driver.

https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/1814991/
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-mmc/msg21459.html
and third one is my patch
http://news.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.mmc/cutoff=23010

Can we have some conclusion about how to handle HLE?

Thanks!!!
