The mmc core change looks fine to me, so I will wait for a pull
request from Jaehoon.

Overall these changes looks good to me, so I am ready to accept the PR
from Jaehoon!!


Although, highly related to this patchset, I am worried that there is
a misunderstanding on how MMC_PM_KEEP_POWER (DT binding
"keep-power-in-suspend") is being used for dw_mmc. Perhaps I am wrong,
but I would appreciate if you could elaborate a bit for my
understanding.

First, this cap is solely intended to be used for controllers which
may have SDIO cards attached, as it indicates those cards may be
configured to be powered on while the system enters suspend state. By
looking at some DTS files, for example
arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3368-orion-r68-meta.dts which uses it
for an eMMC slot, this is clearly being abused.

Anyway, the wrong DT configurations might not be a big deal, as in
dw_mci_resume(), it's not the capabilities bit that is checked but the
corresponding "pm_flag". This flag is set via calling
sdio_set_host_pm_flags(), but as that doesn't happen for an eMMC card
we should be fine, right!?

Now, what also do puzzles me, is exactly that piece of code in
dw_mci_resume() that is being executed *when* the pm_flag contains
MMC_PM_KEEP_POWER:
if (slot->mmc->pm_flags & MMC_PM_KEEP_POWER) {
     dw_mci_set_ios(slot->mmc, &slot->mmc->ios);
     dw_mci_setup_bus(slot, true);
}

So, in the system resume path, the above do makes sense as you need to
restore the registers etc for the dw_mmc controller to enable it to
operate the SDIO card. Such as bus width, clocks, etc.

Although, I would expect something similar would be needed in the new
runtime resume path as well. And in particular also for eMMC/SD cards,
as you need to restore the dw_mmc registers to be able to operate the
card again. Don't you?

So in the end, perhaps you should *always* call dw_mci_set_ios() and
dw_mci_setup_bus() in dw_mci_resume() instead of conditionally check
for MMC_PM_KEEP_POWER? Or maybe only a subset of those functions?

Kind regards
Uffe
