Hi Andrew

Thank you for your comment.

Example
 - CMD53(Single block read / Received data size : 64Byte)

 1) Send CMD53
 2) Receive "CMD53 response"
 3) Call tmio_mmc_cmd_irq(host, status);
-- original code ----------------------------------------------------
 #define ack_mmc_irqs(host, i) \
	do { \
		u32 mask;\
		mask  = sd_ctrl_read32((host), CTL_STATUS); \
	< case 1 >
		mask &= ~((i) & TMIO_MASK_IRQ); \
	< case 2 >
		sd_ctrl_write32((host), CTL_STATUS, mask); \
	} while (0)
---------------------------------------------------------------------

TMIO_STAT_RXRDY status will be cleared by "sd_ctrl_write32((host), CTL_STATUS, mask);"
if TMIO_STAT_RXRDY becomes effective between "< case 1 >" and "< case 2 >".

This causes the phenomenon that a TMIO_STAT_RXRDY interrupt does not occur.
When received data are small, it rarely occurs.


Thanks,
Goda
