mmc: alcor: don't write data before command has completed
The alcor driver is setting up data transfer and submitting the associated
MMC command at the same time. While this works most of the time, it
occasionally causes problems upon write.
In the working case, after setting up the data transfer and submitting
the MMC command, an interrupt comes in a moment later with CMD_END and
WRITE_BUF_RDY bits set. The data transfer then happens without problem.
However, on occasion, the interrupt that arrives at that point only
has WRITE_BUF_RDY set. The hardware notifies that it's ready to write
data, but the associated MMC command is still running. Regardless, the
driver was proceeding to write data immediately, and that would then cause
another interrupt indicating data CRC error, and the write would fail.
Additionally, the transfer setup function alcor_trigger_data_transfer()
was being called 3 times for each write operation, which was confusing
and may be contributing to this issue.
Solve this by tweaking the driver behaviour to follow the sequence observed
in the original ampe_stor vendor driver:
1. When starting request handling, write 0 to DATA_XFER_CTRL
2. Submit the command
3. Wait for CMD_END interrupt and then trigger data transfer
4. For the PIO case, trigger the next step of the data transfer only
upon the following DATA_END interrupt, which occurs after the block has
been written.
I confirmed that the read path still works (DMA & PIO) and also now
presents more consistency with the operations performed by ampe_stor.
