VUSB: disabling
mmcblk0: mmc0:0002 00000 972 MiB
ALSA device list:
 mmcblk0: p1 p2
  No soundcards found.
omap-abe-twl6040 sound: ASoC: CPU DAI (null) not registered
omap-abe-twl6040 sound: snd_soc_register_card() failed: -517

EXT4-fs (mmcblk0p2): mounting ext3 file system using the ext4 subsystem
EXT4-fs (mmcblk0p2): warning: maximal mount count reached, running e2fsck is recommended
