今日はlinux-xlnxのログを眺めていたのね。
そしたら、こんなログが・・・

mmc: arasan: Add ADMA broken quirk based on DT parameter
This patch adds 'SDHCI_QUIRK_BROKEN_ADMA' quirk to the
sdhci arasan controller based on the DT property.
With 4.6 kernel, ADMA2 is broken. So added this quirk as
a workaround and can be reverted once kernel is upgraded
or actual solution is found.
Issue with ADMA2 can be seen with the following three steps
done in regression.
1. mount SD card.
2. Read and write some random data ~1MB.
3. reboot the board.
Issue is visible after running 15 to 20mins with 4.6 kernel
and there might be a chance that issue might occur very
frequently depending on the application.
So, using the above workaround to force the controller to
use SDMA.
The performance difference between SDMA and ADMA2 is around
10-15%.
ADMA2 can be used by removing the 'broken-adma2' property
from devicetree.

ARM: dts: Add broken-adma2 property to SD node
This patch adds 'broken-adma2' property to SD node.
By adding this property controller will use SDMA
by default. This property can be removed to use ADMA2.

まずは「broken-adma2プロパティを追加したよ」から始まる。
「broken-adma2はSDのためだよ。SDMAをデフォルトにするよ。」と続く・・・
最後に「これは4.6での回避策でバージョンアップされたりしたら治るかも・・・」
それで最後にSDMAとADMA2の性能差について弁明されている。
「差は10〜15%程度だから・・・」
をいをい、これはソフトウェアのパフォーマンス落として高位合成してXilinx FPGAは有利ですとでも言いたいのか？
ちなみにADMA2は壊れていないんだな。
なので、これはこの回避策は間違えた回避策で原因の本質を直さない限りは今後のバージョンでは絶対に治らないよ。
もうちょっと、自社製品を理解したほうが良いよ＞Xilinxの中の人
そう言えば、Linux Kernelの4.10が出てたなぁ。
動かすか・・・
