As part of few other fixes and enhancements to u-boot MMC code, I sent a
similar but slightly different patch yesterday. I have an eMMC
High-Capacity card (4GB) and it works fine with this patch. But I do
believe there are 4GB MMC cards that don't advertise them as
High-Capacity cards and work with the byte addressing. By the way, how
do I make sure that the fixes and enhancements that I submit are in line
with what is expected and becomes part of the mainline code.
