Actually I was looking into the series posted by
Ohad - https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/226611/ .

Looking at the below patches, which takes care of card power off/on
once adapted to PM-Runtime
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/226631/
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/226671/

Wouldn't adapting the host driver just to PM-Runtime will answer the
above issues?
