Good news, I applied "riscv: errata: improve T-Head CMO" [1] and SDMA is
now working correctly. I can mount both boot and rootfs paritions and
then is no problem umounting and then remounting [2].

Note - I didn't 'riscv: mm: update T-Head memory type definitions' yet
but I will do that next and make sure everything is still working.

I'll post an update to my eMMC series.
