Hi Iker,

Thanks a lot for these patches!

Things look all right according to my first tests. First time I'm able 
to boot a Yocto build root filesystem from SD card with the mainline 
kernel on the OrangePi RV2 board!
Tomorrow, I should have time to run tests on BananaPi PF3 too. Fingers 
crossed for eMMC support...

I'll be happy to test your further iterations. That would be awesone to 
have SD support merged in 7.1 :)
Thanks again
Michael.
