There are some prerequisites of the data buffers to supports any block
size, at least for ux500.
Try read up on this discussion:
http://marc.info/?t=135005062400002&r=2&w=2

The conclusion from the above is that we need to adopt
mmci_pio_write() to handle corner cases.

Now, I suppose, unless someone objects, we could go ahead and merge
this patch. Then you will have to fixup mmci_pio_write() later on.

Kind regards
Uffe
