yes, of course.

With this patch, the mmci_irq_threaded is called only when
a datatimeout occurs on R1B request else the mmci_irq return IRQ_HANDLED
and the threaded irq is not called.
So normally, there is no impact for legacy variants.

For all these reasons you mentioned above, I'm not sure it's safe to 
extend the thread manager to anything other than "aborting the DPSM" on
R1B datatiemout ? what do you think about that?

I prefer just used the irq threaded for specific errors case which need
be outside of atomic context.
