[PATCH 1/2] mmc: mxcmmc: fix race condition when dma finish a data transfer

During a read of data block using dma, driver might have two ways to finish to read
and free the resources:
1) checking STATUS_DATA_TRANS_DONE mask, in the mxcmci_irq() routine
(pending to mmc irq)
2) mxmmc driver, registers also a mxcmci_dma_callback() and when transfer is finished,
dma driver calls this callback. (pending to dma irq)
Both ways are concurrent with each other.

Race condition happens when following events occur:
/* (1) mxcmci driver start data transfer */
158.418970: mpc_dma_execute: mpc_dma_execute(): will_access_peripheral start cid=31
158.418976: mpc_dma_issue_pending <-mxcmci_request

158.419656: mxcmci_irq <-handle_irq_event_percpu
158.419692: mxcmci_read_response <-mxcmci_irq
/* (3) mxcmci driver checks that transfer is complete and call mxcmci_finish_data() */

In accordance with the other drivers that using the dma engine,
fix it, leaving *only* to dma driver the complete control to
ending the read operation.

Removing STATUS_READ_OP_DONE event activation, has as effect
to force mxcmci driver to handle the finish data transfer only
by mxcmci dma callback.
