Hi Ulf,

This v3v3 regulator powers most of the devices on this board. So we need
to switch it off to gain power in suspend mode.

I see. Thanks for sharing that information.

The MMC_PM_KEEP_POWER flag is there to describe what is supported by
the platform/host. It doesn't mean that the card *must* stay powered
on during system suspend. Instead that depends on whether system
wakeup for the SDIO/WiFi is supported too - and if that is enabled by
userspace. If not, the regulator will be turned off for the SDIO card
during system suspend.

Assuming the regulator is implemented as a proper regulator and can
remain on during system suspend, the right thing would be to keep the
MMC_PM_KEEP_POWER flag around.

Kind regards
Uffe
