As Namjae Jeon mentioned, how about this?
I think only MMC_CAP2_PACKED_WR can be set for enabling the write packing easily.
In my case, tested eMMC device is not optimized for packed read.
So I couldn't confirm that this patch is effective in packed read.
I think packed read as well as packed write of this patch conformed with the eMMC4.5 spec though.
I wonder that your eMMC device has the good ability in both operations.
It is difficult to decide the performance with excluding the device.
Soon I will test it with the improved sample for packed read.

Right! It is desirable and I hope that.
Do you think this patch have the potential problem?
As I also ask you, if you have tested and find something is incorrect, we can discuss that.
It was submitted for that purpose.

Basically, It has been tested with several I/O benchmark tool.
Some misvalued I/O timing and wrong argument for packed command 
was used for triggering the error case.
