Hi Ulf,

On the latest Linux-next branch, the top commit 89295c59c1f063b533d071ca49d0fa0c0783ca6f (tag: next-20200326), after add your two patches, I just add the simple debug code as following in the /driver/mmc/core/queue.c, but seems still not work as our expect, logically, it should work, so can you or anyone test on other platform? This seems weird.

diff --git a/drivers/mmc/core/queue.c b/drivers/mmc/core/queue.c

dma_set_max_seg_size(mmc_dev(host), queue_max_segment_size(mq->queue));

INIT_WORK(&mq->recovery_work, mmc_mq_recovery_handler);

Here is the log I got when system run, even after your patch, the dev->dma_parms is still NULL.
