Koen,

One note though, since I don't use HDMI (or BBB much for that matter), I was ok
with taking a risk of upping the ldo3 regulator voltage to 3.3v on my board
which I needed to do to get to the boot prompt.

I applied my AM335x DMA and MMC patches and tried to boot with rootfs as MMC1.

With 1.8v, I get the following during boot:
[ 2.236043] mmc0: host doesn't support card's voltages
[ 2.241659] mmc0: error -22 whilst initialising SD card

That's strange because I do have an SDHC card. With 3.3v it works fine.

I will add a note about this to my series. Since this more of an MMC issue than
anything, and your patch series doesn't enable MMC, you can add my tested-by:

Tested-by: Joel Fernandes <joelf@xxxxxx>

Later on, the regulator voltage may need to be tweaked for MMC support.

Regards,

-Joel
