I'm not the mmc maintainer. The reason is this patch not only touches the mmc, but also affects many other subsystems in drivers/ as the init order is changed. And the get_maintainer.pl shows you are the first suggested reviewer for changes to drivers/Makefile :) > > > The original patch is: > > ----- > > > > >From 1514c7d56e887ace37466dded09bc43f2a4c9a4a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 > > From: Feng Tang > > Date: Fri, 8 Jun 2018 17:10:30 +0800 > > Subject: [PATCH] mmc: Move the mmc driver init earlier > > > > When doing some boot time optimization for an eMMC rootfs NUCs, > > we found the rootfs may spend around 100 microseconds waiting > > for eMMC card to be initialized, then the rootfs could be > > mounted. > > [ 1.216561] Waiting for root device /dev/mmcblk1p1... > > [ 1.289262] mmc1: new HS400 MMC card at address 0001 > > [ 1.289667] mmcblk1: mmc1:0001 R1J56L 14.7 GiB > > [ 1.289772] mmcblk1boot0: mmc1:0001 R1J56L partition 1 8.00 MiB > > [ 1.289869] mmcblk1boot1: mmc1:0001 R1J56L partition 2 8.00 MiB > > [ 1.289967] mmcblk1rpmb: mmc1:0001 R1J56L partition 3 4.00 MiB > > [ 1.292798] mmcblk1: p1 p2 p3 > > [ 1.300576] EXT4-fs (mmcblk1p1): couldn't mount as ext3 due to feature incompatibilities > > [ 1.300912] EXT4-fs (mmcblk1p1): couldn't mount as ext2 due to feature incompatibilities > > > > And this is a common problem for smartphones, tablets, embedded > > devices and automotive products.

Watch out if you try to put stuff before > tty, you have to be very careful. There are sd serial devices, right? As the eMMC/SD card initialization takes quite some time, the SDHCI host controller's module init function will quickly return, while leaving a worker to do the real card detection/initialization, so other subsystems should not be blocked. And yes, it is safer to move it after tty/ > > Anyway, nothing we can do now until after 4.19-rc1 is out. Understood, will send v2 after the merge window. Thanks again. - Feng
