Well, it is a bit complicated, if we backport it, then the mci driver could be probed before the dma controller. Requesting dma chan will fail and it will switch to pio mode. So it has to be backported with the probe deferring. The issue is that probe deferring patch is based on other patches removing non-dt support which become useless only ine 3.19.
