So far I agree with Ming that AUTO_CMD12 support should just be reverted
until you understand the root cause circumstances of the corruption and
know how to turn it back on safely.

I'm not willing to build up a blacklist of which boards don't support it
by waiting for more reports of data corruption, and I'm even reluctant
to use a whitelist until we understand more about the nature of the
whitelist.  The effort here should be concentrated on root causing,
not on trying to make per-board decisions without understanding what's
actually going on.
