Ah I missed that point and I see you fixed that case in "mmc: dw_mmc-exynos: fix potential external abort in resume_noirq()". The true reasoning for this patch is that soc clk driver should suspend after every other suspend callback which is using clocks... It would be nice to explain this particular scenario in commit msg. However both dw-mmc and clk will be now in suspend noirq phase so do you have any guarantees that dw-mmc will be suspended after clk? Best regards, Krzysztof
