Add a verify option to driver to print out an error message if a

The comment in patch 3 says the problem doesn't apply to the data
register. Why does this check for these two registers rather than
data?
This Verify workaround patch still a work in progress. I'm still
getting more info from the silicon designers on the back-to-back
register writes that are affect. The spew of 0x20 or 0x28 or 0x2c
register writes are all ok locations that don't need to be worked
around. This patch needs to be corrected with the proper register
rules
still.
Thanks for testing. Yes, I have work to do on the verify patch above
still.

do you still have plans to submit a V3 of this patch series?
No, I do not have plans to submit a V3 of this patch series.

I submitted this patch as RPI has a similar controller to the SoCs I am
familiar with as well as needing similar work arounds You can take
over the patchset. Or, try and get the sdhci-iproc.c driver going on
RPI. The sdhci-iproc is the production driver we use on a variety of
SoCs and support and test this driver.

after applying the patch series both drivers are very similiar so i prefer the latter. I will give it a try. Thanks for the hint about sdhci-iproc.

Regards
Stefan
