I don't think there is a point. For example, for mounted media, if the
userspace unmounts the filesystem on suspend, then the device will
successfully remove.
For root fs on a removeable card, it will never tear down the mmcblk
MD, because mmc_blk_release will never be called enough times (fs is
mounted).

Is the card actually an external card for you or an eMMC? You could
just get away with unsafe resume, I suppose...
