Sandisk extreme 32GB and 16GB dont initialize in XO-1.75

[John Watlington]

Based on that error message, my guess is that those Sandisk cards are the
first to support +1.8V operation.   The kernel is detecting this, but getting
confused as it doesn't know how to turn on +1.8V power to the SD (it isn't
supported by that motherboard).

On XO-1.5, we supported operating SD cards at +1.8V, but since we never
encountered such a card the feature was dropped in XO-1.75/XO-4.   All cards
have to support operation at the +3.3V these systems provide.

The kernel should recognize this limitation, and not try to negotiate for
lower voltages.   This sounds like a bug in build 21, please file a ticket.

Thanks,
