Yes, that was a kind of a long outstanding issue we have had for SDIO devices. Several generic attempts was made to have a framework/library available to support so called "power sequences" for exactly the same reasons as above. Others and myself failed to get those attempts accepted. Instead, I invented a mmc subsystem specific DT based solution, the "mmc-pwrseq". DT documentation: Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mmc/mmc-pwrseq-simple.txt Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mmc/mmc.txt Long story short: The mmc host device may contain a phandle to a mmc-pwrseq, which will describe the resources needed to power on/off the SDIO card. The code is available at: drivers/mmc/core/pwrseq* We didn't implement this as platform driver, but that was mostly because I initially wanted things to be simple. Although, nothing prevents us from converting to this as a follow up, which would make the solution a bit less "hacky".
