I see some storage drivers do implement .shutdown() callbacks do you think
sdhci-pci
could also do the same?

immansoo@immansoo-desktop:~/Linux_kernel/linux-stable/drivers/mmc$ find . -name
\*.c -exec grep \.shutdown -H {} \;
./host/s3cmci.c:static void s3cmci_shutdown(struct platform_device *pdev)
./host/s3cmci.c:        s3cmci_shutdown(pdev);
./host/s3cmci.c:        .shutdown       = s3cmci_shutdown,

I agree the issue needs to be fixed in user-space, so it does not request
Storage device during shutdown. 

Shouldn't we also make sure we don't open a device during shutdown, that way we
make
sure at least we don't stay in device power'd up state during power-off.

It's not that the file system is not getting sync'd, but issue is bringing  up
the device
during shutdown, because once the shutdown starts there is no way to stop it
and the device may be left in undefined state.
