Hi Philip,

Is it the "mmc_align_data_size()" function found in the drivers/mmc/core/core.c file? I'm going to try your suggestion of replacing:

sz = ((sz +3)/4)*4;

with

sz = ((sz + 63)/64)*64;


could this also be accomplished in the in the functions found in if_sdio.c for if_sdio_host_to_card() and if_sdio_card_to_host() by changing the "+4" and "-4" to "+64" and "-64"?
