On some systems, e.g., kzm9g, MMCIF interfaces can produce spurious
interrupts without any active request. To prevent the Oops, that results
in such cases, don't dereference the mmc request pointer until we make
sure, that we are indeed processing such a request.

I verified on kzm9g.

After applying this patch on kzm9g board, I got this error regarding eMMC.
I think this is another problem.

With this patch, there is no null pointer accesses and got this log.
sh_mmcif_irqt: mrq == NULL: host->wait_for=0
sh_mmcif_irqt: mrq == NULL: host->wait_for=0
...
host->wait_for is 0. it is MMCIF_WAIT_FOR_REQUEST.
There is code such like:
host->wait_for = MMCIF_WAIT_FOR_REQUEST;
host->mrq = NULL;
So, at the top of sh_mmcif_irqt, if host->wait_for == MMCIF_WAIT_FOR_REQUEST,
host->mrq = NULL.
It is too earlier to access mrq->data before checking host->mrq. it may
cause null pointer access.
Goda-san, could you check this and refine the code of sh_mmcif_irqt?
Thanks for your report and a fix. Could you please double-check, whether
the below patch also fixes your problem? Since such spurious interrupts
are possible I would commit a check like this one, but in the longer run
we want to identify and eliminate them, if possible. But since so far
these interrupts only happen on 1 board model and also not on all units
and not upon each boot, this could be a bit tricky.
One more question - is this only needed for 3.7 or also for 3.6 / stable?
Thanks
Guennadi
