So when I posted this patch quite a while back, there was some discussion
about this and a consensus that this is not the right solution.

So first of all lets describe the problem:

The esp8089 sdio wifi chip is really an ARM core with a wifi phy
connected to it (as many wifi chipsets are).

But this one comes up in some really generic sdio capable boot-loader
mode and we need to feed it firmware and then reboot it into the
new firmware.

The reboot is where the problems happens. It seems to fallback
from the negotiated 4 wire sdio mode to single wire spi mode then.

The out of tree version of the driver deals with this by not setting
the non-removable flag as well as setting the broken_cd flag so that
the mmc core polls the device, after the reboot the poll fails
because the mmc-controller and the esp8089 are using a different
amount of wires so the mmc-cmd the poll uses times out.

After which the esp8089 drivers remove function gets called, and
the mmc stack re-discovers the esp8089 by restarting the whole
number of wires (and speed) used negotiation. After which the
esp8089 driver's probe function gets called (again) and on
firmware loading is has set a global flag, so now it actually
acts as a wifi driver rather then trying to load the firmware
a second time.

Since I did not want to rely on broken_cd polling I came up
with the hack which is this patch.

So when this patch was first discussed we came to the conclusion
that what we really need is some sort of mmc_reprobe_device
function which the driver can call from probe which will
redo the number of wires (and speed) used negotiation,
while keeping the sdio_function device as is so that probe can
simply continue after this and we also don't need the ugly
global flag.

The idea would be for this function to be some wrapper
around mmc_init_card() which resets the ios settings as is
normally done on remove and then call mmc_init_card()
passing in the existing card the same way as is done
one resume, so that the existing card / sdio_function
devices get reused.

IIRC Ulf would look into writing this mmc_reprobe_device
function and then I would test it with the esp8089, but
Ulf never got around to writing the function and I ended
up working on other things too.

I HTH.

Regards,

Hans
