Data transfer direction between host controller and SD/MMC card is selected by
host controller configuration registers, but whether we actually need or need
not perform data transfer depends on type of last issued command. To avoid
memorization of which type of command host controller issued the last time, we
can use simple query procedures, to make sure that SD/MMC card is in the
right state. The only query routine currently presented in SD/MMC card
emulation is sd_data_ready(), this patch adds sd_receive_ready() routine.
I've thought about this a bit more and spent some time poking through
the standards docs. I'm kind of suspicious of both this function and
the existing sd_data_ready(). Real hardware doesn't have these signals,
both ends of the sd-controller-to-card connection just do their thing
and trust that the other end is in the state it is supposed to be.
If you (in the controller model) don't already know whether you are
OK to send/receive data then you haven't modelled some part of the
controller's state properly.
Having thought even more :-), sd_data_ready() is actually modelling a
real hardware behaviour: "have we seen the start bit on the data line?".
So it is justifiable. I still don't think sd_receive_ready() is, though.
