Doug Anderson, Jaehoon Chung,

Sorry for late response.
Could I explain this problem more?
I guess Doug are debugging it with wifi, right?
The problem happens when dw_mci_stop_dma is called in the middle of data transfers.
If data error occurs in the end of block, EVENT_XFER_COMPLETE might be set. So, it's fine.
Actually, dw_mci_idmac_stop_dma stops the dma working, there is no further interrupt for dma completion.
There are two solutions we have applied.

#1. deferring the call of dw_mci_stop_dma until EVENT_XFER_COMPLETE flag is set into pending_events.
In this case, dma transfer will be continued with error.

If you have any opinion, please let me know.
