Ok, great!

What is the upstream status of this? Have you discussed it on the u-boot
list? Right now, this is a hack that isn't suitable for upstream, but
how about tweaking omap_hsmmc host_cap if we are running on the evm?

As it stands, the beaglebone boards are also forced into 1bit mode even
though they don't have the problem.

Ok, great!
