[Lu Yangbo-B47093] I remembered that Uffe had opposed us to introduce non-generic header files(like '#include <asm/mpc85xx.h>')
in mmc driver initially. So I think it will not be accepted to use ifdef CONFIG_PPC and mfspr(SPRN_SVR)...
And this method still couldn’t get SVR of ARM chip now.

Any other suggestion here?
Thank you very much.
