Thanks, I'll test when I get some time later this week but I think (by 
reading the patch so I probably missed something) it won't solve the CSD
problem. The real reason of the "CSD problem" of course is that how the
mmc_csd structure is defined (host byte order not taken in account or
at least how gcc handles bitfields).

It seems ok to me except one comment about the interface:

I'm just wondering if the bus width should be configurable. It's probably
quite unusual to use just one data bit but not impossible though. So maybe
the interface call could be:

void at91_mci0_hw_init(int bwForSlotA, bwForSlotB)

Where the bwForSlot<X> is either 0 (which means slot is not used), 1 or 4.
