[PATCH] mmc: dw_mmc: Wait for data transfer after response errors

[Enric Balletbo Serra]

Dear all,

Seems the following thread[1] didn't go anywhere. I'd like to continue
the discussion and share some tests that I did regarding the issue
that the patch is trying to fix.

First I reproduced the issue on my rockchip board and I tested the
patch intensively, I can confirm that the patch made by Doug fixes the
issue.But, as reported by Alim, seems that this patch has the side
effect that breaks mmc on peach-pi board [2], specially on
suspend/resume, I ran lots of tests on peach-pi and, although is a bit
random, I can also confirm the breakage.

Looks like that on peach-pi, when the patch is applied the controller
moves into a data transfer and the interrupt does not come, then the
task blocks. The reason why I think the dw_mmc-rockchip driver works
is because it has the DW_MCI_QUIRK_BROKEN_DTO quirk [3].

So I did lots of tests on peach-pi with dto quirk, suspend/resume
started to work again. But I guess this is not the proper solution or
it is? Thoughts?
