I would recommend to examine an option to reuse the existing host
controller property 'keep-power-in-suspend', note that a particular
host controller driver may ignore it.

In general the problem sounds like a PCB hardware bug, and if it is
eMMC card specific, please provide more information about that eMMC
rather than about the host.
