The latest one I posted a few month ago, which wasn't accepted. http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.power-management.general/46635 There has also been some off-list discussions on especially how we should describe this in DT and there were actually some consensus made around that. Still I haven't seen any patches on the mailing lists. So to summarize, I am really concerned that we keep having these power sequence issues for SDIO devices and right now the discussion has been on hold. I am considering to hack on it myself, since I am tired of waiting. :-) Regarding this patch, I don't intent to apply it.
