Hi,

In theory this changes make sense. I'm always afraid when something is 
changed in this driver which handles many version of the IP...

As we never encountered this issue until now, I can't really test this 
fix. I checked on an old board at91sam9m10g45-ek that mmc is still 
working and it's okay.

So
