Can you explain the problem in more detail?  If the final DMA interrupt
comes before TC then all should be well.  If it comes after, then we need
to be sure that the DMA has finished - particularly in the "read" case.
Neither the existing code nor this patch seems to address that issue.

Also, how can we be sure the final DMA interrupt doesn't race with the
start of the next request?

All the 'post data transfer' cleanup activities are now done in the
MMC TC handler.
The schedule_timeout in omap_hsmmc_start_dma_transfer is hence not
needed (which, incidentally,
was also throwing a "schedule while atomic" warning when executed).
Tested on OMAP4430 SDP.

As requested, this is now posted as a separate patch instead of
clubbing with another feature.
