Hi Gerd,

> Next version if the bcm2835 sdhost patch series.
>
> New in v3:
>  * squashed in cleanups by Stefan.
>  * use one dma channel only.
>  * improve commit messages.
>
> New in v2:
>  * DMA fixed.
>  * updated docs (kconfig, file comment, commit message) clarifying
>    the two sd controller situation.
>  * some code cleanups, as pointed out by Stefan.
>  * dt bindings use mmc at ... now.
>  * added patches to update defconfigs.
>  * added patch for rpi3 device tree, so wifi is actually enabled.

I know there's a v4, which is the one I tested, but I don't see it on
the rpi list. A few things I've found.

First the flipping of the mmc host driver for the SD card slot will
cause issues for users that build it as a module. When I tested this
on Fedora the first update I ended up with a system that didn't boot.
I'm handling in Fedora with a dracut snippet which will pull both in
both until that settles down.

Also i often see the device hang for a long period when systemd probes
for rfkill status, sometimes it needs to be reset but it generally
gets there.

Finally also seeing the following crash with the patches on 4.11rc2
