-<p>The MultiMediaCard Controller uses state machines to manage the interactions
-with the MultiMediaCard hardware. </p>
-<p>State machines allows the controller to maintain the state of each submitted
-session – allowing it to schedule a second session when the first becomes
-blocked, for example. </p>
-<p>To handle the complex sequence of bus operations involved, the controller
-implements a state machine stack, allowing a parent state machine function
-to invoke a child state machine function. The state machine stack allows nesting
-of children down to a depth of 10 levels. </p>
-<p>Each session object has its own individual state machine stack because
-each session runs its own sequence of bus operations, with the controller
-managing these multiple sequences. This means that each session object has
-a state machine object, an instance of the <xref href="GUID-022AC0FE-86EE-3908-A9F8-4A33D04A68A5.dita"><apiname>TMMCStateMachine</apiname></xref> class. </p>

-</fig>
-<p>The state machine remembers the next state and child function name, and
-moves to that state as soon as control returns to the session. </p>
-<p>The stack chooses the next session to be handled and manages the state
-machine through the state machine dispatcher. </p>

-the state machine stack</title> <p>The stack itself is represented as an array
-of <xref href="GUID-DDCE8054-1656-34EF-9CBC-53C796BFD5A6.dita"><apiname>TMMCMachineStackEntry</apiname></xref> objects contained within the state
-machine object <xref href="GUID-022AC0FE-86EE-3908-A9F8-4A33D04A68A5.dita"><apiname>TMMCStateMachine</apiname></xref>. </p> <p>The state machine
-maintains a "pointer", <xref href="GUID-022AC0FE-86EE-3908-A9F8-4A33D04A68A5.dita#GUID-022AC0FE-86EE-3908-A9F8-4A33D04A68A5/GUID-5EC9B7D0-A3A9-35DF-A91D-65920372C9A4"><apiname>TMMCStateMachine::iSP</apiname></xref>, to the current
-state entry. This is not a true pointer, but just a value that indexes into
-the array. However, for all practical purposes it has the effect of a pointer.
-Each state entry in the stack is thought of as having a parent-child relationship
-with the other. </p> <p>Each state entry maintains three pieces of information: </p> <ul>
-<li id="GUID-81454E68-4603-5211-8F9F-70F0F2F4B95D"><p>A pointer to the state

-<li id="GUID-B20834EB-3EAE-5D79-8564-8B2A5490A057"><p>A variable containing
-the current state; the value and meaning of the state is defined by the state
-machine function. </p> </li>
-<li id="GUID-32AFB296-0D5F-5FF7-9ECD-C9F798E04542"><p>A bitmask of <xref href="GUID-FF4AB1CF-7A2C-3FC6-B123-D6819E1BCDCA.dita"><apiname>TMMCErr</apiname></xref> defined
-error conditions; these are set by the parent state machine function so that
-it gets the chance to trap those errors if the child state machine function
-returns those errors. Errors are propagated up the stack, and any error conditions
-not trapped at any level in the state machine hierarchy leads to the state
-machine terminating with that error value. </p> </li>

-</fig> <p>In general, the overall state of the state machine reflects the
-state of the current state entry; for example, <xref href="GUID-E32D6BC3-F8D9-3F7E-94F6-56633B645D6A.dita#GUID-E32D6BC3-F8D9-3F7E-94F6-56633B645D6A/GUID-48F37107-2D11-3550-890B-D79844A97DBF"><apiname>TMMCStatemachine::State()</apiname></xref> returns
-the state held in the current state entry. </p> <p>While the flow of control
-through a stack can be complex, the following diagram shows a short example
-snapshot. Here, the current state in the current stack entry is <codeph>Sn</codeph> and
-is handled by the function <codeph>PF()</codeph>. The code decides to pass
-control to the child function <codeph>CF()</codeph>, but ensures that, on
-completion, the next state in the current stack entry will be <codeph>Sn+1</codeph>. </p> <fig id="GUID-6ACBC49E-14EE-526B-A1A3-426B64BF8476">

-implements the CIM_UPDATE_ACQ macro as defined by the <i>MultiMediaCard System
-Specification</i>, and is a typical state machine function. </p> <p>Most commands
-and macros involve one or more asynchronous operations and while such operations
-are outstanding, a session is blocked. While a session is blocked, its state
-machine dispatch function is not called. As soon an asynchronous event removes

+<p>The MultiMediaCard Controller uses state machines to manage the interactions
+with the MultiMediaCard hardware. </p>
+<p>State machines allows the controller to maintain the state of each submitted
+session – allowing it to schedule a second session when the first becomes
+blocked, for example. </p>
+<p>To handle the complex sequence of bus operations involved, the controller
+implements a state machine stack, allowing a parent state machine function
+to invoke a child state machine function. The state machine stack allows nesting
+of children down to a depth of 10 levels. </p>
+<p>Each session object has its own individual state machine stack because
+each session runs its own sequence of bus operations, with the controller
+managing these multiple sequences. This means that each session object has
+a state machine object, an instance of the <xref href="GUID-022AC0FE-86EE-3908-A9F8-4A33D04A68A5.dita"><apiname>TMMCStateMachine</apiname></xref> class. </p>

+</fig>
+<p>The state machine remembers the next state and child function name, and
+moves to that state as soon as control returns to the session. </p>
+<p>The stack chooses the next session to be handled and manages the state
+machine through the state machine dispatcher. </p>

+the state machine stack</title> <p>The stack itself is represented as an array
+of <xref href="GUID-DDCE8054-1656-34EF-9CBC-53C796BFD5A6.dita"><apiname>TMMCMachineStackEntry</apiname></xref> objects contained within the state

+maintains a "pointer", <xref href="GUID-022AC0FE-86EE-3908-A9F8-4A33D04A68A5.dita#GUID-022AC0FE-86EE-3908-A9F8-4A33D04A68A5/GUID-5EC9B7D0-A3A9-35DF-A91D-65920372C9A4"><apiname>TMMCStateMachine::iSP</apiname></xref>, to the current
+state entry. This is not a true pointer, but just a value that indexes into
+the array. However, for all practical purposes it has the effect of a pointer.
+Each state entry in the stack is thought of as having a parent-child relationship
+with the other. </p> <p>Each state entry maintains three pieces of information: </p> <ul>
+<li id="GUID-81454E68-4603-5211-8F9F-70F0F2F4B95D"><p>A pointer to the state

+the current state; the value and meaning of the state is defined by the state
+machine function. </p> </li>
+<li id="GUID-32AFB296-0D5F-5FF7-9ECD-C9F798E04542"><p>A bitmask of <xref href="GUID-FF4AB1CF-7A2C-3FC6-B123-D6819E1BCDCA.dita"><apiname>TMMCErr</apiname></xref> defined
+error conditions; these are set by the parent state machine function so that
+it gets the chance to trap those errors if the child state machine function
+returns those errors. Errors are propagated up the stack, and any error conditions
+not trapped at any level in the state machine hierarchy leads to the state
+machine terminating with that error value. </p> </li>

+</fig> <p>In general, the overall state of the state machine reflects the
+state of the current state entry; for example, <xref href="GUID-E32D6BC3-F8D9-3F7E-94F6-56633B645D6A.dita#GUID-E32D6BC3-F8D9-3F7E-94F6-56633B645D6A/GUID-48F37107-2D11-3550-890B-D79844A97DBF"><apiname>TMMCStatemachine::State()</apiname></xref> returns
+the state held in the current state entry. </p> <p>While the flow of control
+through a stack can be complex, the following diagram shows a short example
+snapshot. Here, the current state in the current stack entry is <codeph>Sn</codeph> and
+is handled by the function <codeph>PF()</codeph>. The code decides to pass
+control to the child function <codeph>CF()</codeph>, but ensures that, on
