If I am not wrong, in current implementation of runtime suspend,
the driver stops BKOPS (send HPI) just before sending sleep command,
see _mmc_suspend(), depends on “MMC_CAP_AGGRESSIVE_PM” flag.
In this case, the eMMC device will not have enough time to perform internal
BKOPS in both – Manual and Auto BKOPS configurations.
For the poweroff, it should be OK with a current implementation of
PON (mmc_poweroff_notify())
