Those both sound like workarounds, not fixes, to me. Somebody
needs to identify whether the bug here is in:
* the kernel (unlikely, but possibly the kernel has a race
condition that only gets triggered by QEMU's "operations
that take time in h/w happen instantaneously in emulation"
behaviour)
* the QEMU model of the PL181
* the QEMU model of the SD card
and then fix whichever of these is not conforming to the
specs/docs/etc.

Also, there's no such thing as a "QEMU dtb", at least for
most of our board models. QEMU models the actual hardware
(sometimes buggily or incompletely) and so should use the
exact same dtb you would use with the hardware.
