That will help:

Are you sure that this patch does really help?

If I remember correctly (will re-check) we have this patch locally applied. But even with this patch, we have issues so that we enabled CONFIG_SYS_DCACHE_OFF, i.e. disabled the dcache.

The issues we observed *without* CONFIG_SYS_DCACHE_OFF: The SD card was detected as 1-bit only (mmcinfo), while with dcache off it was used as 4-bit. Debugging this showed that wrong configuration data was read [1]. Having a fat partition on the card, mmc part/fatls etc failed, too, with cache enabled.

Best regards

Dirk
