[PATCH v2 v2 2/8] mmc: sdhci: add quirk to enable CMD23 for multi-block transfers

Mon Jun 29 17:51:16 CEST 2026


Introduce a controller-specific quirk to select CMD23 (SET_BLOCK_COUNT)
for read/write multi-block operations instead of the legacy CMD18/CMD25
with open-ended or pre-defined block counts.

This allows SDHCI host controllers that support CMD23 to improve I/O
efficiency by reducing the number of CMD12 (STOP_TRANSMISSION) commands
for multi-block transfers.
