The kernel now handles level shifter limitations affecting SD card
modes, making it unnecessary to explicitly disable SDR104 and SDR50
capabilities in the device tree.

However, due to board-specific hardware constraints particularly related
to level shifter in this case the maximum frequency for SD High-Speed
(HS) mode must be limited to 37.5 MHz to ensure reliable operation of SD
card in HS mode. This is achieved using the max-sd-hs-frequency property
in the board DTS.

This will break MMC for all of the users and nothing in commit msg or
cover letter explains that or mentions merging strategy.

Exactly this case is covered by your internal guideline, no? Please read it.

Best regards,

Just to make sure I’m addressing the right concern — are you primarily
worried about the introduction of the max-sd-hs-frequency property in
the board DTS files, or about the removal of the sdhci-caps-mask
from the common sm8550.dtsi?

Apply this patch and test MMC. Does it work? No. Was it working? Yes.


Best regards,
Krzysztof

You're absolutely right to raise the concern about potential breakage.
After conducting additional testing across multiple boards, I’ve confirmed that the removal of SDR104/SDR50 broken capabilities does indeed affect V1 SM8550 devices.
v1 is a prototype revision, please forget it exists, we most definitely
do not support it upstream

Konrad

However, on V2 devices, all modes—including SDR104, SDR50, and HS—are fully functional and have been verified to work reliably.

Based on your feedback, I will revise the patch to retain the broken SDR104/SDR50 capabilities in the common sm8550.dtsi, ensuring no impact on current sm8550 devices already in use.

We will revisit the removal of broken capabilities dt property for upcoming targets after thorough validation and testing to ensure no regressions from the beginning.

Please let me know if this approach aligns with your expectations. I’ll prepare and send out a revised patch accordingly.

Best regards,
Sarthak
