A quick test shows no problem with adding this to Sonny's patch:

diff --git a/drivers/mmc/host/dw_mmc.c b/drivers/mmc/host/dw_mmc.c
index 66dc8fe..588b5b8 100644
--- a/drivers/mmc/host/dw_mmc.c
+++ b/drivers/mmc/host/dw_mmc.c
@@ -481,6 +481,7 @@ static void dw_mci_idmac_start_dma(struct dw_mci
*host, unsigned int sg_len)

        /* Make sure to reset DMA in case we did PIO before this */
        dw_mci_ctrl_reset(host, SDMMC_CTRL_DMA_RESET);
+       dw_mci_idmac_reset(host);

        /* Select IDMAC interface */
        temp = mci_readl(host, CTRL);

I'll start reboot tests now to see how it behaves...  I think Sonny is
out of the office for a few days so we might need to wait for a spin,
but I'll run with that change in the meantime and see how it behaves
for me.

Thanks!
