The problem is in the .shutdown callback that was added to the sdhci-iproc and sdhci-brcmstb drivers to save power in S5. The shutdown callback will just call the sdhci_pltfm_suspend() function to suspend the lower level driver and then stop the sdhci system clock. The problem is that in some cases there can be a worker thread in the "system_freezable_wq" work queue that is scanning for a device every second. In normal system suspend, this queue is suspended before the driver suspend is called. In shutdown the queue is not suspended and the thread my run after we stop the sdhci clock in the shutdown callback which will cause the "clock never stabilised" error. The solution will be to have the shutdown callback cancel the worker thread before calling suspend (and stopping the sdhci clock). NOTE: This is only happening on systems with the Legacy RPi SDIO core because that's the only controller that doesn't have the presence signal and needs to use a worker thread to do a 1 second poll loop.
