Please disregard my last comment: as the value of "mmc->max_blk_size *
mmc->max_blk_count" is always 0xffff_ffff or less, "min_t(size_t,
mmc->max_blk_size * mmc->max_blk_count, dma_max_mapping_size(&pdev->dev))"
will always be 0xffff_ffff or less, too, so there is no extra step needed
to make it fit in mmc->max_req_size.


Sorry for the confusion.
