From 7c8a2829c22a270acadc6aa3a937e2e7956b19f5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Per Forlin Date: Mon, 29 Aug 2011 15:35:58 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] mmc: core: clarify how to use post_req in case of errors The err condition in post_req() is set to undo a call made to pre_req() that hasn't been started yet. The err condition is not set if an MMC request returns an error.
