Hm, that's interesting.
In our upcoming devboard (HSDK, see
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-snps-arc/2017-July/002667.html)
we do use 2 slots of DW MobileStorage controller (even though it's not yet
mentioned in its .dts).

So the question is if multi-slot support gets removed from dwmmc driver or
it's just a .dts option gets obsoleted. In latter case I'm wondering how to
enable a second slot in dwmmc driver (will it just auto-probe it etc)?

I didn't see about multiple slot for dwmmc controller.

In dwmmc controller, already removed the multiple slot concept.

I was about to add a second SD-card slot to hsdk.dts
once we have a peripheral attached to it working.

Too bad for us as the second slot is attached to SDIO peripheral we really need.
What was a reason to get rid of multi-slot support on DW MMC?

After merged dwmmc in mainline, we were keeping the slot concept.
During 6 years, we didn't see the use-case about multi-slots..
In all dts files, num-slots were used to "1" like "by-default".
It was meaningless value.

when we kept the multiple slot concept, it's complex to handle the driver.
e,g) if upstream some patch, it has to check "cur_slot" and "slot" ..because dwmmc controller was doing context switch for slot.
	Sometime slot was not assigned..occurred the panic or NULL pointer dereference error.

If there is no advantage for maintaining it, then i felt that the removing multiple slot is better than keeping.
Then we can focus on one slot..and maintenance is more easier...
And as i know, MMC subsystem doesn't consider the multiple slot.

That's why i have removed it.

Ok that's a good reason to do it.

I was really surprised to see people prefer to add a few more
instances of DW MMC controolers in their systems (I did see about 5 of them
on some boards) instead of using extra slots of the same one controller.
I guess that's because all slots reuse the same data lines and so performance
degradation is inevitable.

Anyways we still don't have that SDIO peripheral working as expected
and for now only 1 slot is fine. Though it might become a nightmare for me
if the need for the second slot really arises. But let's see how it goes.

BTW do you know if that multi-slot functionality was ever tested at all?
Now I have a feeling that our SDIO peripheral attached to the second slot of DW MMC
is not working because:
?a) Linux driver support for multi-slot is not functional
?b) Hardware itself is not working as expected as nobody ever tried that functionality.

Right, that's why doesn't use the multiple slot.
Company hopes to make the product that costumer is satisfied.
Performance is one of important things...
For saving about the cost that using more IP ...use the multiple slots via one IP?
It doesn't make sense..but i don't know why your board is using the multiple slot..
Maybe there are some reasons..?

I know...i didn't never test the multi-slot..did you check the slot->sdio_id?
Rockchip is using the slot 8 as sdio peripheral.
As you already know, dwmmc needs to shift the bit according to slot.

Indeed there is. As it was quite late decision so we thought why not to use
this nice feature and serve yet another SDIO device for free with just addition of
a couple of wires (compare it with another controller integration in a SoC).

Well I think to some extent it worked for me but for some reason attached peripheral
was not answering to any command so there could be another problem not related to DW MMC
controller. Again as I understood slot is selected simply by supplying a clock.
I.e. data is put on the same lines for all attached SD-devices and who gets a clock from
the controller becomes active.

We'll see if I get this peripheral working then probably I'll need to revisit that
slot-related topic.

> Rockchip is using the slot 8 as sdio peripheral.

Still slot support is getting dropped? :)
Like Rockchip people don't care?

As we hard-code the slot number for sdio peripheral and won't change
anymore, so we actually don't object killing slot concept.

And we haven't come up with any use case for multi-slot for the past
years for any rockchip platforms, but instead we have to carefully carry
on the code to check the slot which makes the code hard to be improved.

I'd prefer it goes via the tree which changed the driver in first place !

BTW we do need this multi-slot support in driver for HSDK - NO ?

That's OK.

> BTW we do need this multi-slot support in driver for HSDK - NO ?

We do need this but:
1) We still cannot get that Wi-Fi module to work in SDIO mode on HSDK.
2) It is unclear if multi-slot support was ever tested at all as it turned
? ?out nobody ever used that for real.

So I'd better return to this topic once we have SDIO on the second slot working
at least in bare-metal test app.
