Hi community,

thank you all for answering my questions.

This information is valuable to me, but now I would help if you tell me 
where I can find the code of SDHCI controller for the SD card of 
Exynos4412 in U-boat 2015.04-rc2 for a implementationtation reference.  
I was reviewing the file  exynos_dw_mmc.c as reference of DWMMC driver, 
but now I have no idea what the file where the SDHCI driver for the 
exynos4412 is implemented.

Thank you very much for your collaboration.
