Cache was invalidated on the read operation, but it should also be flushed otherwise.

Thanks, Hector.
Adding Marek on Cc as well.
Notes: After enabling L2 cache on i.MX6 I found out that many times when running the 'gpt' command to partition a uSD card, the data was not written at all, or was badly written to the media.
This patch seems to solve it but I'm not sure if that's the right place to flush the cache. Could someone please comment? Thank you.drivers/mmc/fsl_esdhc.c | 12 ++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 12 insertions(+)

ACK
If this patch is fixing the problem, the issue must be somewhere else.
Can you verify that the call to flush_dcache_range() in the esdhc_setup_data routine is being called prior to esdhc_send_command?
