2.6.38-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------ From: Chris Ball <[email protected]> commit 0c9c99a765321104cc5f9c97f949382a9ba4927e upstream. It seems that under certain circumstances the sdhci_tasklet_finish() call can be entered with mrq set to NULL, causing the system to crash with a NULL pointer de-reference. Seen on S3C6410 system. Based on a patch by Dimitris Papastamos.
