This is something like the 5th time this patch is posted,
so let's try to fix this now, once and for all.

For the ux500v2 variant of the PL18x block, odd block sizes are
supported. This is necessary to support some SDIO transfers
such as single bytes. This also affects the QCOM MMCI variant.

This will work fine for PIO using IRQs: SDIO packets are
accepted down to single bytes and the transfers go through
just fine.

This patch has proven necessary for enabling SDIO for WLAN on
PostmarketOS-based Ux500 platforms.

This patch is based on Ulf Hansson's patch
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-mmc/msg12160.html

Ulf noted on an earlier iteration in:
https://marc.info/?l=linux-mmc&m=140845189316370&w=2

"There are some prerequisites of the data buffers to supports
any block size, at least for ux500. (...) The conclusion from
the above is that we need to adopt mmci_pio_write() to handle
corner cases."

This points back to a discussion in 2012. The main point was
made by Russell in this message:
https://marc.info/?l=linux-arm-kernel&m=135351237018301&w=2

IIUC this pertains to this code (now gone from the patch):

  if (data->sg->offset & 3) {
      dev_err(...);
      return -EINVAL;
  }

This hit Stephan as he noticed that DMA (DMA40) would not work
with the MMCI driver, so this patch combined with disabling
DMA would do the trick. That way we don't toss unaligned
accesses at the DMA engine as SDIO apparently tends to
do. (This is not a problem when writing ordinary block device
blocks as these are always 512 bytes aligned on a 4-byte
boundary.)

As Ulf notes, odd SG offsets like this should be handled
by the driver even if we run it in DMA mode. I conclude
it must be the duty of the DMA driver to say NO to SG
offsets it cannot handle, or otherwise bitstuff things
around to avoid the situation.

So as a first step make sure errors are propagated upward
from the DMA engine, and assume the DMA engine will say no
to things with weird SG offsets that it cannot handle, and
then the driver will fall back to using PIO.

It might be that some DMA engines (such as the Ux500
DMA40) do not properly say no to sglists with uneven
offsets, or ignore the offset altogether resulting in
unpredictable behavior. That is in that case a bug in the
DMA driver and needs to be fixed there. I got the impression
that the Qualcomm DMA actually can handle these odd
alignments without problems.

(Make a drive-by fix for datactrl_blocksz, misspelled.)

There is no need to keep my authorship of the patch, it's very much
different than the original. I would rather replace it that with a
suggested-by tag.

This is too early in the series. You need to deal with the DMA and pio
issues, before releasing this constraint.

In other words, I would rather split this patch in two pieces. One
patch dealing with dma submit error path, placed first in the series
and another patch that adds the odd block sizes variant and releases
the constraint, which should comes last.

Makes sense?

Sure thing, I fix. We need to get the whole slew tested first then
I'll collect the Tested-by's and reorder and split.
