Ok. And I agree with all your style change requests above this. Will fix
in v4.

Haven't we already done the sdhci_set_mrq_done() part in
__sdhci_finish_mrq()?

We are picking up an already "done" mrq, looking at whether it had any
error and then sychronizing with external dma. Or at least that is my
understanding.

Yes. Today the code enables SDMA by default (in the else part below
this). I want it to not enable SDMA in the external dma case.
