The bcm2835 has clock domain issues when back to back writes to certain
registers are written.  The existing driver works around this issue with
udelay.  A more efficient method is to store the 8 and 16 bit writes
to the registers affected and then write them as 32 bits at the appropriate
time.

diff --git a/drivers/mmc/host/sdhci-bcm2835.c b/drivers/mmc/host/sdhci-bcm2835.c

  static void bcm2835_sdhci_writew(struct sdhci_host *host, u16 val, int reg)
  {
  	struct sdhci_pltfm_host *pltfm_host = sdhci_priv(host);
-	struct bcm2835_sdhci *bcm2835_host = pltfm_host->priv;
-	u32 oldval = (reg == SDHCI_COMMAND) ? bcm2835_host->shadow :
-		bcm2835_sdhci_readl(host, reg & ~3);
+	struct bcm2835_sdhci_host *bcm2835_host = pltfm_host->priv;

Is that type change for bcm2835_host really correct?
Yes - at the top of the patch the structure has been expanded and named appropriately.

-struct bcm2835_sdhci {
-	u32 shadow;
+struct bcm2835_sdhci_host {
+	u32 shadow_cmd;
+	u32 shadow_blk;
 };

+	} else {
+		/* Read reg, all other registers are not shadowed */
+		oldval = readl(host->ioaddr + (reg & ~3));

Is there any reason to use readl() directly here rather than calling
bcm2835_readl()? ...
Yes, bcm2835_readl does not need to be called in read-modify-write and shadow register situations and just adds overhead. All that needs to be called is readl. bcm2835_readl has some existing ugly code in it to modify the capabilities register on a read function. This info never needs to be for write as you can't overwrite the capabilities register. I hope to get rid of the capabilities hack in a future patch as this should never have been acceptable in upstreamed code to begin with. The capabilities override should have been passed in through a device tree entry.

  static void bcm2835_sdhci_writeb(struct sdhci_host *host, u8 val, int reg)
  {
-	u32 oldval = bcm2835_sdhci_readl(host, reg & ~3);
+	u32 oldval = readl(host->ioaddr + (reg & ~3));

... and here in particular, since this seems like an unrelated change?
Same situation with bcm2835_readl above. No need to call in read-modify-write situations.

  static int bcm2835_sdhci_probe(struct platform_device *pdev)
  {
  	struct sdhci_host *host;
-	struct bcm2835_sdhci *bcm2835_host;
+	struct bcm2835_sdhci_host *bcm2835_host;

Is that type change for bcm2835_host really correct?

yes - structure renamed above
