[v3] quirks handling for SDHCI controllers

[edk2] [PATCH v3 0/2] quirks handling for SDHCI controllers

Posted by Ard Biesheuvel 6 years, 4 months ago

Many SDHCI implementations exist that are almost spec complicant, and
could be driven by the generic SD/MMC host controller driver except
for some minimal necessary init time tweaks.

Adding such tweaks to the generic driver is undesirable. On the other
hand, forking the driver for every platform that has such a SDHCI
controller is problematic when it comes to upstreaming and ongoing
maintenance (which is arguably the point of upstreaming in the first
place).

So these patches propose a workaround that is minimally invasive on the
EDK2 side, but gives platforms a lot of leeway when it comes to applying
SDHCI quirks.

Changes since v2:
- use a singleton instance of the SD/MMC protocol rather than one per
  controller; this is needed to support 'reconnect -r', as pointed out
  by Ray
- use EDKII prefixes for all types defined by the protocol
- replace 'hook' with 'notify', and tweak some other identifiers
- add missing function comment headers for factored out functions

Changes since RFC/v1:
- add EFI_SD_MMC_PASS_THRU_PROTOCOL* member to override methods
- use UINT64* not VOID* to pass capability structure (which is always 64 bits
  in size)

Ard Biesheuvel (2):
  MdeModulePkg: introduce SD/MMC override protocol
  MdeModulePkg/SdMmcPciHcDxe: allow HC capabilities to be overridden

Please ignore - I thought I had sent out my v4 already, but apparently not.
