This comment somewhat contradicts the code which returns 1 if only HOST interupt is asserted if ERR is set.

Which is not its business to test. I think you should remove that above check -- if there's INTRQ asserted, then it's asserted. I wonder if BMIDE interrupt bit gets set in that case (suspecting it's not)...

Well, let me explain a bit.  The datasheed say I should wait _both_
XFERINT and HOST interrupt.  So, if only one of them was asserted, I
mask it and wait another one.  But on the error case, only HOST was
asserted and XFERINT was never asserted.  Then I could not exit from
"waiting another one" state, until timeout.

Hmm, I got it: you decide whether it's worth waiting more for XFEREND interrupt based on whether ERR is set or not. I suppose IDE_INT doesn't get set in case the command gets endede with ERR set?
