I did not, although I am doing so now.

My first thought is that this feels a bit too private. Is the host
driver supposed to be memorizing the details of the CQHCI layer?

But on the plus side, that would remove some contortions needed here
(and also in sdhci-brcmstb.c).

Here's another option I previously considered: teaching
cqhci_deactivate() to check cqe_private itself. That would have the same
benefits, while keeping the private details in cqhci-core.c. How do you
like that?

(Tiny downside: cqhci-core.c got its rename in v5.12, so backporting
this to -stable would get slightly more difficult.)
