Because we have not seen any 8-bit hardware - let alone any 8-bit hardware which we know how to drive. It is unclear how necessary the bus testing sequence is, but the main reason why it's not there is that I could never get it to work on the sdhci controller I use for testing. Due to how the CRC is handled for these commands, the controller gets confused, reports failure, and doesn't provide the returned data - making the test impossible. If you have found an 8-bit controller that we can support, we'd love to know about it! --phil - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
