Phil, I am not sure how to go with this.

Your change drops the dma implementation in the mmc_spi driver as
host->dma_dev now never gets assigned. I do think that makes sense as
the dma support should be implemented in the spi master driver and not
in the spi client driver, which currently is the case for mmc_spi.

Then perhaps a more proper change would be to remove the dma
implementation in mmc_spi altogether?

And one more thing, next time also cc the spi-list and Mark Brown, to
try to some broader input.

Kind regards
Uffe
