I would be happy to submit it, but the original patch has no description in the commit message. Not being a coding developer myself I cannot explain whether it is correct or what it’s doing to add one. All I can do is confirm that it works, and is needed. SD card boot is not an issue.

Thanks for checking them. I had also suspected that this problem is producing according to eMMC modules.
(Chritian's eMMC is different with mine.)

I'm checking this problem in more detail since today. I don't have all eMMC modules to connect on XU3/4.
So as you mentioned, it's difficult to check without reproducing the issue.
I'm trying to find eMMC module to reproduce this issue in my office.
