Jaehoon,

what kind of issues are you running into and on what platforms ?
So far, besides the items brought-up by the reviews, there are 2 issues 
that are in the pipe for the next version:
  * signal voltage selection is not done for the MMCs only for SDs.
  * I noticed a timing constraint in voltage selection for SDs that can 
be a problem when trying a UHS mode with some SDs (seen only with 
Sandisk Ultra  64Gb micro SD class I) :  the voltage must be switched 
quickly after the cmd SWITCH_UHS18V has been sent, making debug messages 
in that context a problem. With this SD I've been able to check that 
SDR104 is working.
