Do you know what actually goes wrong?

I've not been involved in the discussion, but looking at the comments
above, not changing the space can result in non-working cards. So it
does sound like something which in general we want to do. Does the
current code assume the bootloader has initialized some registers with
specific values? Can that be moved into the driver so it also works
with older bootloaders?
