[PATCH 1/2] mmc: meson-gx: make replace WARN_ONCE with dev_warn_once about scatterlist offset alignment

[Neil Armstrong]

Some drivers like ath10k can sometimg give an sg buffer with an offset whose alignment
is not compatible with the Amlogic DMA descriptor engine requirements.

Simply replace with dev_warn_once() to inform user this should be fixed to avoid
degraded performance.

This should be ultimately fixed in ath10k, but since it's only a performance issue
the warning should be removed.

[PATCH 2/2] mmc: meson-gx: also check SD_IO_RW_EXTENDED for scatterlist size alignment

[Neil Armstrong]

The brcmfmac driver can generate a scatterlist from a skb with each packets
not aligned to the block size. This is not supported by the Amlogic Descriptor
dma engine where each descriptor must match a multiple of the block size.

The sg list is valid, since the sum of the sg buffers is a multiple of the
block size, but we must discard those when in SD_IO_RW_EXTENDED mode since
SDIO block mode can be used under the hood even with data->blocks == 1.

Those transfers are very rare, thus can be replaced by a bounce buffer
without real performance loss.

Applied for fixes and by adding a stable tag, thanks!
