I finally found some time to catch up with your patchsets and everything
looks good so far. :)

BTW while going through mg_disk changes I noticed that this driver may
need the following fix (just a RFC on top of your patchset, feel free to
take it over if unsik acks the change):

From: Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz <bzolnier@...il.com>
Subject: [RFC][PATCH] mg_disk: fix issue with data integrity on error in mg_write()

We cannot acknowledge the sector write before checking its status
(which is done on the next loop iteration) and we also need to do
the final status register check after writing the last sector.

Fix mg_write() to match mg_write_intr() in this regard.

While at it:
- add mg_read_one() and mg_write_one() helpers
- always use MG_SECTOR_SIZE and remove MG_STORAGE_BUFFER_SIZE
