Chris, Linus W,

Do you have any comments on this series?

I should've added a better explanation of the problem. In summary, to me it
looks like the aggressive clock gating framework can cause an incomplete
ios to be passed to the host driver if we are just updating it in MMC core,
which could cause the host driver to do wrong things. In our case it
happened during call of mmc_power_off(), resulting an BUG() to be
triggered.

Also in mmc_set_ios() there's a possibility that the aggressive clock
gating triggers just after we have tested ios->clock > 0. Next time a
request is started, the mmc_host_clk_ungate() is called but it doesn't
ungate the clock as it is already marked as ungated. This leads to a hang
in our case (as the clock is stopped).

I think the same problem was previously solved in 26fc8775b51 ("mmc: fix a
race between card-detect rescan and clock-gate work instances") which got
reverted.

Thanks.
