I'm unsure if the 'if' statement makes any sense here, since the
exactly same conditions have been caught by the BUG_ON just above
it.

Function dw_mci_pre_dma_transfer() returns non-zero value anyway,
either -EINVAL or sg_len ...

... while it steps back to old blocking way by setting
data->host_cookie 0 when dw_mci_pre_dma_transfer returns non-zero.

Per my understanding, it means the non-blocking optimization will
always get bypassed anyway, so I doubt the patch can really gain
performance improvement.  Did you get the chance to measure?
