From 5cf20aa557e8f9dd5af302b8f33972082479753a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Wolfgang Muees Date: Wed, 8 Apr 2009 10:14:07 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] mmc_spi: speedup for slow cards, less wear-out Speedup for slow cards by transfering more data at once. This patch also reduces the amount of wear-out of the flash blocks because fewer partial blocks are written.
