A running BKOPS must not prevent the system from suspend (host driver
calls mmc_suspend_host). Thus if we are running a BKOPS when system
suspend occurs, we need to interrupt the BKOPS (send HPI). So I think
this will not work properly, unless I missed something here.

Moreover as I also stated earlier, the pm_runtime_get_sync of the card
device when the card device enters suspend state, will accomplish just
that if BKOPS is adapted properly.

I am not sure I understand what you are proposing. In what way should
should I change my patch?

Some final thoughts, this patchset has been around for some time now.
We have mainly been discussing hypothetical issues which relates to
"aggresive card suspend", for which code right now not even exists in
the mainline kernel. Nevertheless very good discussions, but I think
we shoud be able to handle all these additional features as new
patches build on top of this patchset, don't you think?

It is always easier to disuss around real patches, but discussing
hypothetical issues, if you see what mean.

Kind regards
