Will it be possible to add a suspend callback in the ACPI PM domain,
which then respects susbystems callbacks before it uses
pm_generic_suspend?

Nope. The mmc core will send request to the "card device" during
suspend. Those are part's of a sequence to put the card in a proper
"suspend mode".

That requires that all sdio func devices get suspended before the card
devices. (And resumed after, but that will of course be implicit.)

I guess the guarantee for that is already present, since we have added
the func device to the driver model after we have added the card
device at mmc_sdio_attach(). So, I suppose this could work.

Do you want me to create a patch that you can test?

Kind regards
