This would be ugly cause two driver instances would have to talk one
with another. A global variable will be necessary.

This seems to be worse that I thought.
The problem is that mmc controller tells that card is removed on resume
(after a while it reappears)

This brings a question though, are MMC and SD cards electrically
different?
If not them its interesting how the controller distinguishes between
them.


This isn't a show stopper though, cause the cards are removed/reinserted
anyway unless CONFIG_MMC_UNSAFE_RESUME is set.
The fact that this triggers system hang is another story, and sooner or
later will be fixed ether by some hack in mmc code or by making
del_gendisk not hang when userspace is frozen.


It not due to interleaving, because I tried binding sdhci-pci to only
mmc interface, and yet same problem happens.

Magically, if async suspend is disabled everything works, and it well
tested. and that despite me disabling async suspend on all 4 functions.
(And I know that this works, and makes pm core suspend them in order
from 0 to 4 and synchronously.
I tried adding large delays to simulate delays caused by waiting for
other devices, but it didn't help.

I''l get to bottom of this.
