You are right, __mmc_switch() wait loop is enough, if HPI is not going to be in use during sleep_notification.

Not must by the spec, but there are several options how to handle timeout error.
Checking the existing driver, the '-ETIMEDOUT' error is handled by mmc_interrupt_hpi ()
in case of  mmc_wait_for_req_done() function. 
Can we use the same approach?

You are right, spec doesn’t talk about vccq in case of Sleep_Notification, but
only  about vcc.
We will stay with existing logic and add sleep_notification call before sending sleep command.
