With the to-be-fixed commit, the reset_work handler cleared 'host->mrq' outside of the spinlock protected critical section. That leaves a small race window during execution of 'tmio_mmc_reset()' where the done_work handler could grab a pointer to the now invalid 'host->mrq'. Both would use it to call mmc_request_done() causing problems (see link below).
However, 'host->mrq' cannot simply be cleared earlier inside the critical section. That would allow new mrqs to come in asynchronously while the actual reset of the controller still needs to be done. So, like 'tmio_mmc_set_ios()', an ERR_PTR is used to prevent new mrqs from coming in but still avoiding concurrency between work handlers.

@Ulf: this is nasty, subtle stuff. Would be awesome to have it in 6.8 already!
