What I was seeing that when the controller saw the CRC error it tried
to abort with a "stop" command.  You can see the
"send_stop_abort(host, data)" in dw_mmc.c.  Then I saw:

Presumably this is similar to what you saw: the host saw the CRC error
but the card knew nothing about it.  Sending the stop command during
this time confused the card.  Presumably the card was in transfer
state during this time?
