Subject: [PATCH 4/7 revised II] mmc_spi: do not check CID and CSD blocks with CRC16

From: Wolfgang Muees <wolfgang.mues@...rswald.de>

o Some cards are not able to calculate a valid CRC16 value
  for CID and CSD reads (CRC for 512 byte data blocks is OK).
  By moving the CRC enable after the read of CID and CSD, these
  cards can be used. This patch was tested with a faulty 8 GByte
  takeMS Class 6 SDHC card. This patch was suggested by
  Pierre Ossman <drzeus@...eus.cx>.
