The problem I see here is that callers of this reset function aren't
expecting it to work this way.  Look specifically at
mwifiex_sdio_card_reset_work().  It's assuming that it needs to do
things like shutdown / reinit.  Now it's true that the old
mwifiex_sdio_card_reset_work() was pretty broken on any systems that
also had SDIO bluetooth, but presumably it worked OK on systems
without SDIO Bluetooth.  I don't think it'll work so well now.

Testing shows that indeed your patch breaks mwifiex reset worse than
it was before (AKA WiFi totally fails instead of it just killing
Bluetooth).

I think it may be better to add a new API call rather than trying to
co-opt the old one.  Maybe put a WARN_ON() for the old API call to
make people move away from it, or something?


...but on the bright side, your patch does seem to work.  If I add my
patch from <https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190722193939.125578-3-dianders@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
and change "sdio_trigger_replug(func)" to
"mmc_hw_reset(func->card->host)" then I can pass reboot tests.  I made
it through about 300 cycles of my old test before stopping the test to
work on other things.


In terms of the implementation, I will freely admit that I'm always
confused by the SD/MMC state machines, but as far as I can tell your
patch accomplishes the same thing as mine but in a bit simpler way.
;-)  I even confirmed that with your patch mmc_power_off() /
mmc_power_up are still called...

Thanks!
