[PATCH 2/2] mmc: mxcmmc: don't expect a DMA operation if DMA seems present

From: Juergen Borleis
Date: Thu Jul 29 2021 - 03:29:49 EST


Change the driver's default behaviour from DMA to PIO for each request.
Preparing DMA can fail or be prevented by other causes. Switch to a DMA
operation only, if it is really possible.

This avoids a NULL pointer dereference on shutdown in mxcmci_start_cmd()
where it tries to store a DMA callback configuration into mxcmci_host::desc
which isn't setup a this point of time.
