CRC on the fly

Every sector (512 bytes) is followed by 16
bytes CRC16
Old algo: embed the CRC16 into data
pattern using image format tool.
New algo: calculate CRC16 on the fly
through Bios calls:
_M_StartInjectEmmcCrcs
_M_StopInjectEmmcCrcs

Registers
OCR (Access mode, card power up status bit (busy))
CID (device ID)
CSD (C_SIZE, C_SIZE_MULT ,READ_BL_LEN, ERASE_GRP_SIZE, ERASE_GRP_MULT,
WP_GRP_SIZE, COPY, FILE_FORMAT)
ECSD(HC_ERASE_GRP_SIZE, HC_WP_GRP_SIZE, SEC_COUNT, BUS_WIDTH,

PARTITION_CONFIG, RST_n_FUNCTION, PARTITIONING_SUPPORT, PARTITIONS_ATTRIBUTE,

PARTITION_SETTING_COMPLETED, GP_SIZE_MULT, ENH_SIZE_MULT, ENH_START_ADDR
