Yes, something like that.

In our case exynos do not enter LPD state with mmc host working and its is in
"top" pd which is not managed in conventional way. If we know runtime status of
the host we can decide what to do. Soon I will send full patchset.


I thought about it as exynos specific but I wonder if that would be needed not
only in exynos.
