FW: mmc: zynq_sdhci: transfer fails with 8-bit data bus

Hi,

with commit 942b5fc0 the 8-bit data bus seems to work fine in U-Boot.
However, I have one situation where I get transfer errors lateron in Linux. At the moment I suspect that this is rather a problem of the Linux driver, but I would like to make sure here first.
My ZynqMP has an eMMC flash connected to SD0 and an SD-card to SD1. When I boot the device from SD-card and load a kernel ITB (tested both 4.14 and 5.4), I immediately get errors when writing to the eMMC flash in
Linux:

 print_req_error: I/O error, dev mmcblk0, sector 2048  Buffer I/O error on dev mmcblk0p1, logical block 0, lost sync page write
 mmc0: Got data interrupt 0x00000002 even though no data operation was in progress.

 mmc0: sdhci: ============================================

Interestingly, I can work-around this by just typing "mmc info" in the U-Boot console. As soon as some interaction with mmc0 happens in U-Boot , this problem disappears (i.e. anything that relies on the mmc layer to issue transfers to the eMMC flash).
This did not happen before, when only a 4-bit data bus was supported.
Also the latest commit e44c2bc on the Xilinx U-boot git repository does not solve this problem.
>From my understanding, the Linux driver should be independent of the initialization done in U-Boot, right?
Does anyone have an idea or a comment to this? Did I miss anything?

Thanks,
Benedikt
