Subject: Re: [PATCH] mmc:sdio:retry CMD52/53 when error happens

Hi Yongd,

 From my perspective I don't think this patch is wanted.

A retry mechanism is likely very much hw-SDIO device dependent. Upper 
layers (SDIO func driver) is thus the only software that is able to 
handle retries correctly.

Kind regards
Ulf Hansson
