Thanks for clarifying the test sequence!

However, I am still not (yet) convinced that a card quirk is the right
thing to do. What does the eMMC spec say about sending a CMD0 with
0xf0f0f0f0 to a device that "sleeps"?

Moreover, how does your mmc host driver (and platform) treat VCC and
VCCQ at system suspend/resume, compared to when a reset is done? Is
there a difference?

The point is, if the eMMC spec is being violated, we should not make a
card quirk - as it may cause problems for other platforms.

I see.

Does your host driver support HW busy signalling, so DAT0 is monitored
for de-assertion to confirm the CMD5 is completed by the kernel - or
do you rely on the per card sleep timeout to be used in mmc_sleep()?

Additionally, I wonder about what options you have to reset the eMMC?
Can we use something along the lines of
drivers/mmc/core/pwrseq_emmc.c? If it's not possible to do a HW reset,
we could try sending CMD0 with argument being '0' in the reset path.

What do you think?
