As I suggested for one of the other patches, I would rather turn core
mmci functions into library functions, which can be either invoked
from variant callbacks or assigned directly to them.

In other words, I would leave the functions that you move in this
patch to stay in mmci.c. Although some needs to be re-factored and we
also needs to make some of them available to be called from another
file, hence the functions needs to be shared via mmci.h rather than
being declared static.

Let me take a concrete example on how I would move forward, hopefully
that explains it a bit better. Please see below.

Everything above shall be left as generic library function,
mmci_dma_setup() and I would share it via mmci.h and thus change it
from being static.

This piece of code, should be made specific to the qcom variant and
managed though a "mmci_host_ops" callback. The corresponding code in
that callback would then start by invoking mmci_dma_setup(), before it
continues with the qcom specific operations.

For legacy variants, the corresponding callback would be set directly
to mmci_dma_setup() and called through the callback from mmci.c when
needed. There is no need to have a separate file for DMA for the
legacy variants, I think.
