  * The Arasan has a bugette whereby it may lose the content of successive
- * writes to registers that are within two SD-card clock cycles of each other
- * (a clock domain crossing problem). It seems, however, that the data
- * register does not have this problem, which is just as well - otherwise we'd
- * have to nobble the DMA engine too.
+ * writes to the same register that are within two SD-card clock cycles of
+ * each other (a clock domain crossing problem).  Problem does not happen with
+ * data.
+ * This wouldn't be a problem with the code except that we can only write the
+ * controller with 32-bit writes.  So two different 16-bit registers in the
+ * written back to back creates the problem.
  *
- * This should probably be dynamically calculated based on the actual card
- * frequency. However, this is the longest we'll have to wait, and doesn't
- * seem to slow access down too much, so the added complexity doesn't seem
- * worth it for now.
- *
- * 1/MIN_FREQ is (max) time per tick of eMMC clock.
- * 2/MIN_FREQ is time for two ticks.
- * Multiply by 1000000 to get uS per two ticks.
- * *1000000 for uSecs.
- * +1 for hack rounding.
+ * In reality, this only happens when a SDHCI_BLOCK_SIZE and SDHCI_BLOCK_COUNT
+ * are written followed by SDHCI_TRANSFER_MODE and SDHCI_COMMAND.
+ * The BLOCK_SIZE and BLOCK_COUNT are meaningless until a command issued so
+ * the work around can be further optimized. We can keep shadow values of
+ * BLOCK_SIZE, BLOCK_COUNT, and TRANSFER_MODE until a COMMAND is issued.
+ * Then, write the BLOCK_SIZE+BLOCK_COUNT in a single 32-bit write followed
+ * by the TRANSFER+COMMAND in another 32-bit write.
