I disagree. You cannot enforce this. It depends on clock speed, that can vary with sdio cards. 
User can change the autosuspend delay to whatever he wants, it should just change performance, but not functionality.

Why don't you just take my clock gating version?
Its working well, I'm using this for 2 weeks, and follow the linux-mmc latest improvement.
