OK, I see - thanks for the details!

OK, there are two different "problems", see below

I forgot a patch which enables CONFIG_MMC_MESON_MX_SDIO on the
multi_v7_defconfig. I just pushed an update: [0] (but you can simply
enable that symbol in your .config - just make sure you set it to =y).
same with the USB2 PHY driver (CONFIG_PHY_MESON8B_USB2)

I only enabled SD/USB/etc. for the M8S board, so additional patches
are needed for other boards.

PS: I've just seen that you sent some mails as HTML-mails.
the mailing list rejects these - please always send plain-text mails!
