The reason is that the "Card Interrupt" bit is not cleared until the sdhci_irq() calls mmc_signal_sdio_irq(), so if Card Interrupt was asserted, re-reading the interrupt status will find this bit set over and over, even if no other bits are reported. The fix: ignore Card Interrupt bits in the interrupt status if we already know that mmc_signal_sdio_irq() is going to be called at the end of sdhci_irq().
