Add a verify option to driver to print out an error message if a
potential back to back write could cause a clock domain issue.

This fires a *ton* on reg 0x20 and 0x30 on my rev 2 model B with the
patches applied on top of next-20141031. Without the patches applied,
everything works fine. As far as I can tell, SD card accesses no longer
work (or perhaps there's just so much log spew over serial that it takes
more than 1.5 minutes to get to the login prompt).

The comment in patch 3 says the problem doesn't apply to the data
register. Why does this check for these two registers rather than data?

The continuation line should be indented at least one more level here.

Thanks for testing.  Like I said in the cover message - I've never run 
this on a PI actually.  I've run it on other hardware with the same core 
arasan block having the same clock domain issue.  The registers printed 
out do not have the clock domain issue - I'm still getting more details 
from the silicon designers on this.

Without the verify patch the performance is actually quite good.  See 
tests result from Piotr:

Scott,
please ignore my previous mail I made mistake when applying patches.

Results of testing your code on top of 3.18-rc2 with Kingston SDC10/8GB:

* when compiling with CONFIG_MMC_SDHCI_BCM2835_VERIFY_WORKAROUND=y there 
is a
lot of:

sdhci-bcm2835 20300000.sdhci: back-to-back write to 0x30
and
sdhci-bcm2835 20300000.sdhci: back-to-back write to 0x20

* performance w/o patches:
yncraspberrypi:~$ sync; time dd if=/dev/zero of=~/test.tmp bs=500K 
count=1024; sy
1024+0 records in
1024+0 records out

* performance w/ patches is great IMHO:

Great work!

Have you got plans to enable DMA for this controller ? sys CPU load is quite
big for above code, my tests with bcm2835-mmc and slave_sg from RaspberryPi
Foundation gives about 15s instead of 31s. It would be great to relive CPU a
little bit.

Best Regards,
Piotr Król

This Verify workaround patch still a work in progress.  I'm still 
getting more info from the silicon designers on the back-to-back 
register writes that are affect.  The spew of 0x20 or 0x28 or 0x2c 
register writes are all ok locations that don't need to be worked 
around.  This patch needs to be corrected with the proper register rules 
still.

FYI, I applied the series except for this patch, and everything
/appeared/ to work OK for a brief test (boot, log in, reboot). Still,
I'll hold off my Tested-by/acked-by until the comment in patch 3 and the
register list above match, and there's no log spew with everything applied.

Thanks for testing.  Yes, I have work to do on the verify patch above still.
