Well I do not even understand why someone wants to sync something when
card is removed ??
And why suspend of mmc should generate card removal ??

IMHO steps 2..6 are only valid for the case I would 'remove'
unexpectedly card - but
if I suspend and resume my laptop and I keep the card inside - all
those step looks plain wrong.
