Once it is called during suspending state and explicitly before rtsx_usb_suspend() acquires the same dev_mutex, both routine deadlock and further hang the driver because pm_runtime_get_sync() waits the pending PM operations. Fix this by using an empty suspend method. mmc_core always turns the LED off after a request is done and thus it is ok to remove the only rtsx_usb_turn_off_led() here.
