Hi Avri,

Yes, it is not mandatory, but I don't know a flash vendor that
refuses to use ADAPT so far, it is even recommended by flash vendors.
So there is no meaning of adding a specific quirk for it, as all flash
vendors need this quirk. Otherwise, we would need to add another vops
to allow platform vendors to control it before send PMC.

Any other suggestions?

FYI, ADAPT sequence is used to train an M-RX equalizer. It gives both
sides better signal integrity against the influence caused by
temperature and voltage variations. ADAPT is also used by Quality of
Service Monitoring for HS-G4.

As for the usage of it, here is just setting the type of it before
PMC to HS-G4, HW will use ADAPT, only if both sides support ADAPT,
when it is required as what the spec is saying.

Thanks,

Can Guo.
