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

According to the DesignWare state machine description, after we get a
"response error" or "response CRC error" we move into data transfer
mode. That means that we don't necessarily need to special case
trying to deal with the failure right away. We can wait until we are
notified that the data transfer is complete (with or without errors)
and then we can deal with the failure.

It may sound strange to defer dealing with a command that we know will
fail anyway, but this appears to fix a bug. During tuning (CMD19) on
a specific card on an rk3288-based system, we found that we could get
a "response CRC error". Sending the stop command after the "response
CRC error" would then throw the system into a confused state causing
all future tuning phases to report failure.

When in the confused state, the controller would show these (hex codes
are interrupt status register):
CMD ERR: 0x00000046 (cmd=19)
CMD ERR: 0x0000004e (cmd=12)
DATA ERR: 0x00000208
DATA ERR: 0x0000020c
CMD ERR: 0x00000104 (cmd=19)
CMD ERR: 0x00000104 (cmd=12)
DATA ERR: 0x00000208
DATA ERR: 0x0000020c
...
...

It is inherently difficult to deal with the complexity of trying to
correctly send a stop command while a data transfer is taking place
since you need to deal with different corner cases caused by the fact
that the data transfer could complete (with errors or without errors)
during various places in sending the stop command (dw_mci_stop_dma,
send_stop_abort, etc)

Instead of adding a bunch of extra complexity to deal with this, it
seems much simpler to just use the more straightforward (and less
error-prone) path of letting the data transfer finish. There
shouldn't be any huge benefit to sending the stop command slightly
earlier, anyway.

Not sure if I missed any dependent patch??
Have not checked the dw TRM for this change, will do that as soon as I
get access to it.

OK, I'll have to get my peach-pi or peach-pit up and running again. I
ran out of desk space and I haven't gotten it set back up. :(

I've been testing on an rk3288-based device. Past experience has
taught me that the rk3288 dw_mmc works differently than the exynos
one, so perhaps this is a difference.

Could you possibly patch in something like
<https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/#/c/244347/> and provide the
console for the failure? I'll put it on my list to try this myself,
too

I'm currently testing out of tree, but my dw_mmc is very close to mainline.

OK, sounds good. I have some old version of the DesignWare TRM, so
possibly something is different in the newer one...

I don't test with this..but if needs, i will test.
It needs to fix the Alim's problem.

Which version do you have? I also need to check the TRM version.
