SubjectRe: [PATCH] mmc_spi: fail gracefully if host or card do not support the switch command

Yes, I have. An old 1 GByte SD card.

But there are two cases not covered by these checks:

a) the switch command is supported, but the card is not capable of switching
to 50 MHz.

b) the card rejects the switch command in SPI mode, because it is not
mandatory here.

So yes, the checks can be improved. But only extending the error codes was a
simple, fast and minimal solution.
