Here the SD card works (both read and write). I can surely test a patch
converting this access into a 32bit access.

The only thing I realize here is that my 3.6.4 kernel fails to access
the SD card when barebox has accessed it before:

[    3.623861] mmc0: SD Status: Invalid Allocation Unit size.
[    3.635586] mmc0: error -110 whilst initialising SD card
[    3.724743] mmc0: SD Status: Invalid Allocation Unit size.
[    3.739073] mmc0: error -110 whilst initialising SD card
[    3.836341] mmc0: SD Status: Invalid Allocation Unit size.
[    3.847708] mmc0: error -110 whilst initialising SD card
[    3.965447] mmc0: read SD Status register (SSR) after 3 attempts
[    3.971483] mmc0: SD Status: Invalid Allocation Unit size.
