[PATCH] mmc: msm: fix dma usage not to use internal APIs

[bdegraaf@codeaurora.org (Brent DeGraaf)]

Russell,

Thanks for your comments. Yes, reverting is OK. The writel's are doing the
controller write after the barrier so even though it'll be a little
slower, it will be correct.

Regarding the "unnecessary" pre-invalidate, yeah, I misspoke.  I meant
unnecessary POST-invalidates for non-speculative cpus.  I just checked and
it looks like someone's already put a "FIXME" in the current 2.6.37 source
for those.

We'll look into how much gains we can expect from the relaxed I/O calls
and decide where to go from there.  Thanks for pointing out the api.

Best regards,
Brent
