Thanks, let's do it.

It would be nice to have a story for how MX1 users can use their
hardware with modern kernels, even if it's just "It should be possible
to modify the mxcmmc driver to support this older hardware, and the sort

(Dmitry, your patch is fine -- I can remove the imxmmc hunk from it when
