We to some extent should tolerate R1_OUT_OF_RANGE for open-ending

I'd think these Tested-by should be dropped. We changed the patch quite
a bit meanwhile and I am quite sure Shimoda-san didn't test this new
version of the patch. Dunno about Shawn. Hopefully they have time to
re-test?

Very minor nit: I'd remove this empty line and merge the two paragraphs.

well do in v4

Very good! I like this a lot.

Also minor nit, but likely better readable:

+
+	if (!brq->stop.error) {
		bool OOR_with_open_end;

+		/* If there is no error yet, check R1 response */
+		val = brq->stop.resp[0] & CMD_ERRORS;

		OOR_with_open_end = val & R1_OUT_OF_RANGE && !brq->mrq.sbc;

		if (val && !OOR_with_open_end)
+			brq->stop.error = -EIO;

...

+	if (brq->sbc.error || brq->cmd.error ||
+	    brq->stop.error || brq->data.error) {


will do in v4 but slightly rename it to oor_with_open_end as
it doesn't seem general to name a variable with upper letter.

I am not super strict with the 80 char limit and think one line is
better readable, but I leave that to you and/or Ulf.

Make sense but I will keep it and leave that to Ulf too. :)


Other than that minor stuff:
