Sounds good to me!

Right, I see.

I am guessing this is because the variant->busy_dpsm_flag has been set
in the datactrl register, which is needed for mmci_card_busy().

That said, I am kind of wondering if we ever should need repeat the
while loop if 'status' contains the bit for
host->variant->busy_detect_flag. I mean we have already called
mmci_cmd_irq() to handle it.

So, couldn't we just always do:

if (host->variant->busy_detect_flag)
    status &= ~host->variant->busy_detect_flag;

No?
