rmb() invalidates all compiler assumptions, it can be much slower.
Yes, why would you use rmb() when a read of a volatile generates optimal

This one is a case where the option makes no sense by it
There is apparently at least one instance of the Ricoh SDHCI
implementation out there where card insertion (and possibly
removal) interrupts do not work - so the only way to detect
a change in the presence of a card is to poll.
This changes adds a polling quirk for the particular model

I've not really 'maintained' this code for years, and others
are doing a much more thorough job these days.
Removing myself might stem some of the crazier emails I get.

Please follow up via emailed reply-to-all.
In fact, please report -mm bugs via email. bugzilla is more suited to
longer-term problems, and -mm bugs are super-short-term, we hope.

Hi,
this is the first attempt to write a hwmon driver for ASUS motherboards
that uses ACPI methods instead of directly touching the sensor chip.
If you haven't followed the discussion[1] we want to avoid concurrent
access to the monitoring hw by ACPI and native driver, since it may
cause a malfunct

This will deadlock if work->func() does flush_workqueue(), because it may

It is a known fact that freezeable multithreaded workqueues doesn't like
CPU_DEAD. We keep them only for the incoming CPU-hotplug rework.
Sadly, we can't just kill create_freezeable_workqueue() right now, make
them singlethread.

Because that's too long to add to a Kconfig tag line.
You need a terse label there.
