[S.H] OK. But I need to move the "done_mask = ioread32(hcr_base + CC);" before these codes,
 because these codes will clean command completed register.

[S.H] The quirk is useful for our internal use(there is another errata but got fixed by silicon upgrade),
but you are right it's worth doing anyway in upstream, since the upstream code only handles this errata.
