Suggested approach of checking "mmc->ocr_avail" might work.
But, IMO mmc core should check if the voltage can be changed or not
before trying to do regulator_set_voltage() in mmc_regulator_set_ocr().
Wouldn't that be better and solve this issue for other hosts as well.
Something like below in mmc_regulator_set_ocr ():
+ result = regulator_check_voltage_constraints(supply,
+ min_uV, max_uV);
+ if(!result) {
+ result = regulator_set_voltage(supply, min_uV,
max_uV);
+ if (result != -EINVAL && !mmc->regulator_enabled) {
+ result = regulator_enable(supply);
+ if (!result)
+ mmc->regulator_enabled = true;
+ }
We could wrap the existing check_voltage function
+/* Check voltage constraints helper function */
+int regulator_check_voltage_constraints(struct regulator *regulator,
+ int min_uV, int max_uV)
+{
+ return regulator_check_voltage(regulator->rdev, &min_uV, &max_uV);
+}
+EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(regulator_check_voltage_constraints);
I hope this makes sense.
Regards,
RK
