Note, my comments were structural, not functional:
- use mmc_blk_status_error() to check the status only, since that is what that function is for,
- make the brq->data.error check a separate patch since it needs its own explanation

WRT getting SPI error handling to work the way you need, that is up to you,
so long as there is a reasonable explanation.
