I will eventually revisit the JZ4730 with Linux in this area because I have 
been able to get DMA working on the JZ4730 in my L4Re-based system. I just 
need to demonstrate it working with MMC first, although there may be obvious 
issues in the Linux driver that I might be able to identify already.

I briefly looked at the MMC driver last night, but I didn't get it to do more 
than report initialisation with DMA enabled, as previously shown. Weirdly, if 
I added the vmmc-supply property along with a regulator, it wouldn't report 
initialisation at all, only doing so on MMC1 which didn't have the property 
specified, so I imagine there is something I don't understand about the MMC 
framework. (Again, the documentation is not very helpful, and it also seems 
that voltage-range is supported by some drivers and not others.)

I do wonder if I should check that the clock management is working. That code 
isn't entirely finished because of the different divider computation that the 
X1600 seems to need.
