Following patches were also supposed to help the vim2. 
... something I tested numerous time on this particular board.

I don't know what the problem is (probably some CRC error - you can check the log
in interrupt for this) but I'm pretty sure it is not related to this patch.

I see in the log SD is indeed in HS mode, so not in any DDR mode.
I also see that the SDIO fails as well. There something really weird, which can't
be explained by this patch alone AFAICT.
