Ok, I assume that those depend on the first two patches.
So, I tried applying 7110/1 .. 7112/1 but the first rejects because it
doesn't have the non-power-of-2 support patch applied (7107/1). And
it seems sensible that 7107/1 depends on 7106/1 (the PIO patch) which
I believe to be a problem.
Therefore, I don't think any of these can be applied without the
initial PIO patch.
One thing I haven't yet mentioned is about the non-power-of-2 support -
surely this can only be supported if blksz_datactrl16 is set? If so,
shouldn't it key off that? I don't see how it could otherwise support
non-power of 2 block sizes with just a log2 of the block size programmed
into the data control register.
