The check for data is added in sdhci_external_dma_setup() .

I guess you didn't add 'dmas' in device tree, like patch 3 shows.

Yes, it switched back to ADMA/PIO since sdhci couldn't find 'dmas'
property in devicetree.

Ok, I will add a check in sdhci-omap.c before switching to external
dma, that should be able to avoid this error logs.

Thanks for the review and test!
