The issue was initially found by Eric Benard as below.

http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ports.arm.kernel/108031

Not sure about other SDHCI based controller, but on Freescale eSDHC,
the SDHCI_INT_CARD_INSERT bits will be immediately set again when it
gets cleared, if a card is inserted. The driver need to mask the irq
to prevent interrupt storm which will freeze the system.  And the
SDHCI_INT_CARD_REMOVE gets the same situation.

The patch fixes the problem based on the initial idea from
Eric Benard.

Hmm, that should get enough testing on non-imx (and even non-ARM)
devices. And a comment describing the situation.

Agreed.  Will add something in commit message to mention the
situation.  That's why I hope we can get the patch on mmc-next at
early stage of the cycle, so everyone can start testing it and
report problems, if any.

I actually meant a comment in the code, so it will be obvious for later
hackers why the "extra" steps are in there...
