Nice to see improved Power Management for the MMCIF driver!

You seem to be resetting the MMCIF block regardless if the power has
been cut or not. This may work well, but perhaps your code can be
improved to not reset when only clocks have been stopped? Resetting
when not needed will only result in unnecessary overhead. I believe
the Runtime PM suspend/resume callbacks can be used for determining if
the power has been cut or not.
Please make a V2 on top of Rafael's power domain control code later
when 2.6.40-rc has been released.
Thanks!
