Before I go and test theses patches, I'd like to get some
clarification. From what I see, you've modified all over the place the
code to provide a platform_data, setting wp/cd type to type "NONE", as
if it was the default you choose. Why this default and not considerer
the "SIGNAL" type being the default ? Is this choice the safest one when
one doesn't know what type to choose or can it have some bad side
effects ?
Also, why didn't you modify the imx*_add_sdhci_esdhc_imx() functions to
provide the default platform_data by themselves that if the 2nd argument
was NULL instead of modifying all theses machines files ?


Last comment: How did you choose the platform_data values ? I mean, for
that the cases I'm mainly take care of (efika mx and sb platforms), you
choose NONE type, while the code has :

        MX51_PAD_GPIO1_0__SD1_CD,
        MX51_PAD_GPIO1_1__SD1_WP,
        MX51_PAD_GPIO1_7__SD2_WP,
        MX51_PAD_GPIO1_8__SD2_CD,

which means that it would rather be the SIGNAL type if I got it
right. Does this mean that you've set the type to NONE for all platforms
you didn't know what the answer was ? (I guess/hope that theses 2
questions will be answered by your answers to my previous questions tbh).

Thanks,
Arnaud
