Subject[PATCH] mmc_spi: use EILSEQ for possible transmission errors
Date
From: Wolfgang Muees <wolfgang.mues@auerswald.de>

o This patch changes the reported error code for the responses
to a command from EINVAL/EIO to EILSEQ, as EINVAL is reserved
for non-recoverable host errors, and the responses from
the SD/MMC card may be because of recoverable transmission
errors in the command or in the response. Response codes
are NOT protected by a checksum, so don't trust them.
