No problem, I was on summer vacation anyway ...

Eric?  I don't know much more than what the commit message above says.

Beside the speedup mentioned above driving the sdcard with the custom sd
controller allows to use the sdhci (handled by sdhci-iproc) to be used
for the wifi on the rpi3.

Done.

Done.

Done.  read_relaxed wasn't used at all.

Yep.  Switched the driver to drv_*() everywhere.

Dunno.  Eric?

I'm not an expert with this hardware, just trying to help a bit with
getting the rpi3 bits upstream.

This one is easy, just had to move around some code.

The other one isn't as there actually is a circular call chain.
Maybe also something which should be cleaned up.

Will check.

Hmm, doesn't look too bad to me, but maybe splitting out the inner loop
makes sense.

Ok.

Ok.

Eric, any clue?  Some hardware bug workaround?
Have a pointer to hardware specs?

I'll give it a try.

Ok.

Used to log host->pio_limit (if dma is enabled).

low hanging fruit only for now, going over all the timeout / tasklet /
irq stuff will need some more care and time and testing and should
follow ...
