Then it is something different. It would be easier if I have some arm
hardware to play with, but I have no. Try to apply this debugging patch.
It should tell us what's going on there.

I don't think it is related. There is no such thing as disk geometry on
flash card, that's why driver does not announce it. The only places
where it may be important is when fdisk is trying to align partitions
with track boundaries for compatibility with legacy BIOS'es.
There is no problem to report some fake values, but from one side they
should better match BIOS assumptions on geometry and from other, they
should as much as possible to match flash erase sector size. I just have
no any system which supports SD booting to report something reasonable
there. Reporting maximal 63 sectors per track as for HDD may result in
ineffective filesystem alignment and reduced performance.
