Re: [PATCH v3] mmc: dw_mmc: add quirk for broken data transfer over scheme

[Alexandru Stan]

Seems like the BROKEN_DTO also affects EVENT_DATA_COMPLETE, sometimes we don't
see that (but we do see EVENT_XFER_COMPLETE), leave the state machine and never
come back to it to timeout. I have this happening on emmc specifically, haven't
seen it on sdmmc yet.

The fix is to also start the timer when we don't see a EVENT_DATA_COMPLETE.

More details for how I debugged this can be found at:
https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/#/c/233691/

In ~100 reboot tests I haven't seen any hangs, whereas before it was
hanging about 20% of the time.
