Hi, i was testing Linux Kernel 3.18-rc2 with my i.MX28 board (I2SE Duckbill) and ran into the problem that the sd card isn't detected from the Kernel at booting (driver: mxs-mmc.c). That results in a endless wait for the root partition Here are the relevant messages (bad case): [...] [ 1.501883] mxs-mmc 80010000.ssp: initialized [ 1.521203] TCP: cubic registered [ 1.530850] NET: Registered protocol family 10 [ 1.548469] mip6: Mobile IPv6 [ 1.551698] sit: IPv6 over IPv4 tunneling driver [ 1.566016] ip6_gre: GRE over IPv6 tunneling driver [ 1.575831] NET: Registered protocol family 17 [ 1.581640] bridge: automatic filtering via arp/ip/ip6tables has been deprecated.

It turns out that the XOR:ing between the explicit inversion was indeed in use, so we need to restore the old semantics where both ways of inversion are checked and the end result XOR:ed.
