Why would there be pending requests while host is suspending? Is the
kernel framework not handling sync before going to suspend? However, the
mmc_blk_suspend() would be called before the host driver suspends (as all
the driver suspend routines are serialized) which means it stops block
layer to queue more I/O requests well before the host driver start
suspend. Does this sequence break in your case?
Your concern seems to be valid for SDIO case, but again the function
driver must be intelligent enough to return -EBUSY as it knows that it had
posted a request to MMC.
