Hi Lukasz,

	width = ((mmc->host_caps & MMC_MODE_MASK_WIDTH_BITS) >>
	                          MMC_MODE_WIDTH_BITS_SHIFT);

This code has the problem. If width is set to 0x3,
then BUS_WIDTH field of ext_csd register is set to 0x3.
Value 0x3 is nothing.(It's reserved)
If we want to set 4-bit, then that value is set to 0x2.
This problem need to fix.
I will send the patch for this problem.

Best Regards,
Jaehoon Chung
