Yes I get it now, well, what we do is essentially create three state
variables that are all checked at end of DMA (by adding a
DMA termination callback), end of PIO or DATAEND IRQ arrival.
So a little bit like:

if (dataend && (pio_end || dma_end))
   complete;

I'll cook up some patch ASAP, just need to backport some
stuff on top of your latest MMCI patches.
