It seems like the existing code is an attempt to fallback to use pio
mode. However, I doubt it works as is.

If I remember it correctly, Yes, that was the intent. we should still be able to use the pio mode if the dma setup fails.

I believe pio mode should work, Last time when I tried (3-4 years back) it did work!

My point is, if you return an error code here, it means that the error
code becomes propagated and ->probe() will fail.
That would be very bad!, We should report it and may be just continue with pio mode.


Ideally, we should be able fall back to pio mode when dma doesn't
work. I have looped in Srinivas who implemented the qcom dml support,
let's see if he can explains the intent with the code.

I also volunteer to help out running some tests on the 410c platform,
I think you meant IFC6410.. DB410c uses sdhci.


--srini
however allow me a day or two to do that.
