MMC_CLKGATE was once invented to save power by gating the bus clock at
request inactivity. At that time it served its purpose. The modern way to
deal with power saving for these scenarios, is by using runtime PM.
Nowadays, several host drivers have deployed runtime PM, but for those
that haven't and which still cares power saving at request inactivity,
it's certainly time to deploy runtime PM as it has been around for several
years now.
To simplify code to mmc core and thus decrease maintenance efforts, this
patch removes all code related to MMC_CLKGATE.

The JEDEC MMC v4 spec defines a new PRV value in place of the original
fwrev and hwrev specified in v1. We can expose this in the kernel to enable
user space to more easily determine the product revision of a given MMC.

c31b50e (mmc: core: Use delayed work in clock gating framework,
2011-11-14) missed a few things during review:
o A useless pr_info()
o milliseconds was written as two words
o The sysfs file had units in its output
Fix all three problems.

Enable boot partitions to be read-only locked until next power on via
a sysfs entry. There will be one sysfs entry for each boot partition:
/sys/block/mmcblkXbootY/ro_lock_until_next_power_on
Each boot partition is locked by writing 1 to its file.

Current clock gating framework disables the MCI clock as soon as the
request is completed and enables it when a request arrives. This aggressive
clock gating framework, when enabled, cause following issues:
When there are back-to-back requests from the Queue layer, we unnecessarily
end up disabling and enabling the clocks between these requests since 8MCLK
clock cycles is a very short duration compared to the time delay between
back to back requests reaching the MMC layer. This overhead can effect the
overall performance depending on how long the clock enable and disable
calls take which is platform dependent. For example on some platforms we
can have clock control not on the local processor, but on a different
subsystem and the time taken to perform the clock enable/disable can add
significant overhead.
Also if the host controller driver decides to disable the host clock too
when mmc_set_ios function is called with ios.clock=0, it adds additional
delay and it is highly possible that the next request had already arrived
and unnecessarily blocked in enabling the clocks. This is seen frequently
when the processor is executing at high speeds and in multi-core platforms
thus reduces the overall throughput compared to if clock gating is
disabled.
Fix this by delaying turning off the clocks by posting request on
delayed workqueue. Also cancel the unscheduled pending work, if any,
when there is access to card.
sysfs entry is provided to tune the delay as needed, default
value set to 200ms.

SD/MMC cards tend to support an erase operation. In addition, eMMC v4.4
cards can support secure erase, trim and secure trim operations that are
all variants of the basic erase command.
SD/MMC device attributes "erase_size" and "preferred_erase_size" have been
added.
"erase_size" is the minimum size, in bytes, of an erase operation. For
MMC, "erase_size" is the erase group size reported by the card. Note that
"erase_size" does not apply to trim or secure trim operations where the
minimum size is always one 512 byte sector. For SD, "erase_size" is 512
if the card is block-addressed, 0 otherwise.
SD/MMC cards can erase an arbitrarily large area up to and
including the whole card. When erasing a large area it may
be desirable to do it in smaller chunks for three reasons:
1. A single erase command will make all other I/O on the card
wait. This is not a problem if the whole card is being erased, but
erasing one partition will make I/O for another partition on the
same card wait for the duration of the erase - which could be a
several minutes.
2. To be able to inform the user of erase progress.
3. The erase timeout becomes too large to be very useful.
Because the erase timeout contains a margin which is multiplied by
the size of the erase area, the value can end up being several
minutes for large areas.
"erase_size" is not the most efficient unit to erase (especially for SD
where it is just one sector), hence "preferred_erase_size" provides a good
chunk size for erasing large areas.
For MMC, "preferred_erase_size" is the high-capacity erase size if a card
specifies one, otherwise it is based on the capacity of the card.
For SD, "preferred_erase_size" is the allocation unit size specified by
the card.
"preferred_erase_size" is in bytes.
