I just tested this series with Jmicron, and unfortunelly there are bugs.

* driver refuses to handle 26 byte TPC I use to read regs
(sizeof(ms_registers). If I bump it to 32, it works.

* With this fix first few reads still fail.
That means that card isn't detected always because boot blocks might not
be read.
Later card works fine.

* Also I found out that msproblk.c allocates memory for attributes IO
using stock kmalloc, and hangs that to driver.
However if driver doesn't support such address, it will fail.
I fixed that in my driver by properly calling dma_unmap_sg, and thus
using SWIOTLB if necessary.
But Jmicron driver doesn't unmap its sg.
(Yet the system with Jmicron device has just one GB, so this isn't the
problem I am seeing).
