[patch 17/19] MMC: Always use a sector size of 512 bytes

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------
From: Pierre Ossman <[email protected]>

Both MMC and SD specifications specify (although a bit unclearly in the MMC
case) that a sector size of 512 bytes must always be supported by the card.

Cards can report larger "native" size than this, and cards >= 2 GB even
must do so. Most other readers use 512 bytes even for these cards. We should
do the same to be compatible.
