TI errata says there is a HW bug is multi-block reads causing data CRC errors when the MMC clock is stopped and restarted. This is now fixed in Omap 3430 es3.0. Juha's patch increases the CRC errors when the FIFOs are more likely filled during channel callback interrupt. But the FIFOs can be and are stopped also without SG emulation when bus is busy. On a test board with buggy HSMMC, the CRC error does not appear at all if I have no load on the bus. When I have full Linux system running with bells and whistles, the CRC error occurs with frequency of 0.4%. Retrying multi-block read in case of data CRC seems effective and has never failed on the test board. The performance penalty of the retry is obviously minimal. Juha's patch would need to be modified to be conditionally enabled only on es3.0 and used bounce buffer otherwise and teach mmc_blk_issue_rq() to do retry.
