[PATCH] mmc: make ext_csd dump more human-readable

[Masahiro Yamada]

The current ext_csd in the debugfs shows 1024 chars in one line,
which is unreadable at least for humans (but perhaps it could be
handier if somebody is processing it by a tool).

This commit makes the output format more human-readable; shows 8 byte
in each line, with address in the left-most column:

  0: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
  8: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
 16: 01 01 00 c0 6a 02 00 00
 24: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
 32: 00 01 01 00 00 00 00 00
     <snip>
496: 05 00 03 01 20 3c 01 01
504: 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

I fail to see how re-arranging the bytes makes it more human-readable.
Plus you have mmc-utils parsing it for you.

Thanks,
