Though this is good to do, but this does not look complete to me.
dw_mmc data book does mention that " It is recommended that the host
issue reset to DMA interface by setting DMA_RESET bit of the CTRL
register and then issue a IDMAC software reset."
The above lines are from 'Transmission and reception with internal
DMA' section of the data book.
My suggestion here to add dw_mci_idmac_reset() call after this above change.

What is the controller version used in your case?
