Hi Elad, I get it, I think. I was a bit confused by the 3G/4G terminology.

How "clever" to skip bit 32. This should be in the patch description. > This is why a quirk which only kicks in above 4GB is not sufficient. So the author of the patch should create a new quirk that kicks in above 2GB, devised to be similar in style of the 4GB quirk we already have. > Furthermore, SDHCI_QUIRK_32BIT_DMA_ADDR is checked in sdhci_prepare_data() as a way to > disable DMA when the offset of the scatter-list DMA address is not 32-bit aligned.

Let's just create a new quirk: SDHCI_QUIRK_31BIT_DMA_ROOF Define the semantics such that this will allow DMA for buffers that are below the 31st bit, but does not have the semantics to limit scatter-gather buffers to be 32-bit aligned.
