Please clarify/extend this information to tell that this is for the
variant, that keeps DPSM enabled and uses the data timer while sending
a CMD12. Or something along those lines.

In general it's a good idea to move drivers into using a threaded IRQ handler.

However, the reason this hasn't been done for mmci before, is because
there are some legacy variants, that doesn't support HW flow control.

Unless I am mistaken, that means when the fifo gets full during data
transfers - it's too late to act. In other words, running the handler
in hard IRQ context, should increase the probability of not missing
the deadline.

If a threaded IRQ handler also is sufficient for these legacy
variants, only tests can tell.

An option, would be to use a threaded handler for those variants that
supports HW flow control. Not sure how messy the code would be with
this option, perhaps you can give this a try?
