Hi Wolfram,

Thanks for testing.

It's caused by spinlock recursion introduced by mxs-dma functions
mxs_dma_tx_submit and mxs_dma_tasklet.  We have mmc_request_done
invoked in the dma callback tasklet.  At the meantime,
mmc_request_done will issue retries in some case, which will call in
mxs_dma_tx_submit.

I added the lock by referring to other dma driver implementation, but
now I'm considering to remove the lock completely, as I do not see
any global data needs to be protected there.  Comments?

First of all, it's not a problem that partition table of the card
can not be read.  For example, I have every card giving unknown
partition table message after performing mmc host driver test on the
cards, but they are working good.

I guess you will also get the unknown partition table message if you
test this card on mx35 right now.

I just tested 7 mmc cards in total.  6 cards work fine, and 1 card
(Transcend MMC plus 1GB) has the exactly same problem as yours. And
if I remove the 8 bit cap, this card also works fine.  So I would
agree with Russell that it's unrelated to the driver.

I tested the SDIO, but probably in different way from yours.  I had
two card slots on my board, rootfs on mmc0 and SDIO card on mmc1.
It seems working fine in this way.  However, when I use nfs and test
SDIO on mmc0, my systems hangs too.  I will look into it.
