this change introduces a race condition for host->req (and maybe
for host->data) accesses. The callback is running in soft-irq context and can
be interrupted by the mxcmci_irq() interrupt which can finish the request and
set host->req to NULL. Then mxcmci_data_done() crashes with a null pointer
dereference. How extensively was it tested?
