@@ -6,23 +6,45 @@ Interpreted by the OF core:
- reg: Registers location and length.
- interrupts: Interrupts used by the MMC controller.
-Required properties:
-- bus-width: Number of data lines, can be <1>, <4>, or <8>
-
Card detection:
-If no property below is supplied, standard SDHCI card detect is used.
+If no property below is supplied, host native card detect is used.
Only one of the properties in this section should be supplied:
- broken-cd: There is no card detection available; polling must be used.
- cd-gpios: Specify GPIOs for card detection, see gpio binding
- non-removable: non-removable slot (like eMMC); assume always present.
Optional properties:
+- bus-width: Number of data lines, can be <1>, <4>, or <8>. The default
+ will be <1> if the property is absent.
- wp-gpios: Specify GPIOs for write protection, see gpio binding
-- cd-inverted: when present, polarity on the cd gpio line is inverted
-- wp-inverted: when present, polarity on the wp gpio line is inverted
+- cd-inverted: when present, polarity on the CD line is inverted. See the note
+ below for the case, when a GPIO is used for the CD line
+- wp-inverted: when present, polarity on the WP line is inverted. See the note
+ below for the case, when a GPIO is used for the WP line
- max-frequency: maximum operating clock frequency
- no-1-8-v: when present, denotes that 1.8v card voltage is not supported on
this system, even if the controller claims it is.
+- cap-sd-highspeed: SD high-speed timing is supported
+- cap-mmc-highspeed: MMC high-speed timing is supported
+- cap-power-off-card: powering off the card is safe
+- cap-sdio-irq: enable SDIO IRQ signalling on this interface

+*NOTE* on CD and WP polarity. To use common for all SD/MMC host controllers line
+polarity properties, we have to fix the meaning of the "normal" and "inverted"
+line levels. We choose to follow the SDHCI standard, which specifies both those
+lines as "active low." Therefore, using the "cd-inverted" property means, that
+the CD line is active high, i.e. it is high, when a card is inserted. Similar
+logic applies to the "wp-inverted" property.
+
+CD and WP lines can be implemented on the hardware in one of two ways: as GPIOs,
+specified in cd-gpios and wp-gpios properties, or as dedicated pins. Polarity of
+dedicated pins can be specified, using *-inverted properties. GPIO polarity can
+also be specified using the OF_GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW flag. This creates an ambiguity
+in the latter case. We choose to use the XOR logic for GPIO CD and WP lines.
+This means, the two properties are "superimposed," for example leaving the
+OF_GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW flag clear and specifying the respective *-inverted
+property results in a double-inversion and actually means the "normal" line
+polarity is in effect.
Optional SDIO properties:
- keep-power-in-suspend: Preserves card power during a suspend/resume cycle
