I do have Patrick's fixes for u-boot. Interestingly, the same u-boot
(2013.4 + Patrick's patches) works with 11-CURRENT but not 10-STABLE
-- that's booting from eMMC, there are no issues booting from SD; also
once booted from SD, there is no issues mounting the eMMC and
accessing it (well ... aside from lock reversal warnings and the
occasional sdhc timeout).
Is there a way to debug this?
Thanks!
