I'd also be tempted to add some logging macros like:

#define host_err(host, fmt, ...) \
	dev_err(mmc_dev((host)->mmc, fmt, ##__VA_ARGS__)

so that the code flows a little better.

e.g.:

@@ -521,7 +517,7 @@ static void msdc_abort_data(struct msdc_host *host)>  {
>  	struct mmc_command *stop = host->mrq->stop;
> -	ERR_MSG("Need to Abort.");
> +	dev_err(mmc_dev(host->mmc), "%d -> Need to Abort.\n", host->id);
>  	msdc_reset_hw(host);
>  	msdc_clr_fifo(host);

becomes

	host_err(host, "%d -> Need to Abort\n", host->id);

etc...
