OK, I see.

To clarify the terms here. All hosts supports system PM suspend/resume.

Most of the suspend/resume operations are handled by the mmc core. The
host's ->set_ios callback will though be invoked by the core to give
the option for the host, to cut the power(s) to the card. Depending on
host and hw, it varies what power(s) will be cut.

Now, I don't understand how the upper layers will know which way it
should complete the FFU upgrade process?

Breaking out code and doing re-factoring in sometimes necessary. I
certainly think we should give it a try.

My concern is not just duplication of code, but also duplication of
errors as that follows with it.

Is there really a valid use case for that?

The reason we are considering to have this in-kernel is to get
robustness and to make sure the procedure don't get interrupted, at
least that is how I have interpreted the previous discussions.

Maybe you can elaborate on the reasons for in-kernel once more?

Ah, that could simplify things a bit. In principle we could just run a
suspend/resume cycle to complete the operation.

This will be far more complex to support. It means we actually need to
remove the old card's struct device, it's corresponding blk device and
the blk device queue and for a NON_REMOVABLE host. Then trigger a new
mmc_rescan to detect and initialize the card again. I wondering what
upper mounted rootfs file systems thinks about that. :-)

So, as for now, we should aim for the simple approach and thus don't
do re-initiation/power-cycle. Instead let's leave that to be done by a
"manual" power cycle of the platform.

Yes, please!
