Verifies the card is not formatting before DMAs are
transferred.

What happens if card->state is set to formatting right after this check?

Thanks for the prompt reply.

I was actually questioning myself if I should include this patch in
in my patch series.

This case really is only a solution if no data is running before
a format is issued. It is currently a know bug if data is running 
and a format is issued.

Go ahead and disregard this patch. Once I get sometime to fix
data and format for all cases is when I'll submitted it.
