Unfortunately, they don't all work - see my other email.  The SD slot
is non-functional with the latest sdhci-xenon driver.  The previous
revision worked fine.

So you trying to twist this back to Marcin's patches is unhelpful.
Stop being a problem.

Except that the SD slot is broken.

Anyone can produce and post untested patches, but that's not really
the point of kernel development.
