RE: [PATCH v5 0/4]implement eMMC4.4 standard HW reset feature

From: Dong, Chuanxiao

Hi all,
This feature can reset eMMC card when card cannot response any command.
As eMMC4.4 standard recommended, the HW reset will only be launched when card occurs timeout errors.
To make sure card can be reset, using HW reset instead of using command 0.

So if this kind of scenario occurs, these patches will be useful. Is it acceptable?
