Thanks for helping review it. I found patch 8,12 and 13 need to be 
improved a bit after another round of self-reviewing, but they are
trival formatting issues. Will update onced get reviewed.

As I do have other follow-up patches to improve this driver, it would be
good for me to keep an eye on changes of dw_mmc. So yes, I am OK
to step in and help review dw_mmc patches.
