Kishore,

Since this patch is not yet pushed it makes sense to fix the readability
issue.

Since 8-bit is the max how about:

        if (mmc_slot(host).wires == 8)
                mmc->caps |= MMC_CAP_8_BIT_DATA | MMC_CAP_4_BIT_DATA;
        if (mmc_slot(host).wires == 4)
                mmc->caps |= MMC_CAP_4_BIT_DATA;

This would be little easy to read the code.

Can you please repost the patch??

Regards,
Madhu
