[PATCH] mmci: restrict DMA usage to large, even multiblock transfers

[linus.walleij@linaro.org (Linus Walleij)]

This will restrict the use of DMA to only cover multi-block
transfers of blocks that are evenly divisible with the FIFO
halfsize (8 4-byte words, 32 bytes). This will be true for any
normal, large MMC file transfer, falling back to PIO mode for
any smallish reads.

With this and the previous DMA end sync code the latest MMCI
patches work fine on U8500. On external cards the first read
is an 8-byte single block, which would fail otherwise.

I believe the earlier 1-byte-burst code would circumvent this
restriction, this solution is more elegant. Whether it is also
more efficient to avoid DMA on small packets needs to be
confirmed by measurements but I suspect it is.
