I've just unconfused myself my dropping the patch ;) Please send new
one(s) when the dust has settled?

The only tmio_mmc patch in my tree at present is
tmio_mmc-dont-clear-unhandled-pending-interrupts:




From: Yusuke Goda <yusuke.goda.sx@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Previously, it was possible for ack_mmc_irqs() to clear pending interrupt
bits in the CTL_STATUS register, even though the interrupt handler had not
been called.  This was because of a race that existed when doing a
read-modify-write sequence on CTL_STATUS.  After the read step in this
sequence, if an interrupt occurred (causing one of the bits in CTL_STATUS
to be set) the write step would inadvertently clear it.

This patch eliminates this race by only writing to CTL_STATUS and clearing
the interrupts that were passed as an argument to ack_mmc_irqs()."
