This was already partitioned under (x86) Linux, and when I plug it into 
my laptop it sees the MBR (but also on target, in U-boot, the mmc part 0 
command shows the correct partition table). And this does not explain 
why the card registers (such as the scr pasted below) also seem to have 
their endianess swapped, which will result in other side-effects, such 
as improper reading of card capabilities.
