I see.

You are correct, for a *removable* SDIO card. In this case, the
mmc/sdio core will remove the corresponding SDIO card/device and its
corresponding SDIO func devices at system suspend. It will then be
redetected at system resume (and the SDIO func driver re-probed).

Although, as this is an embedded SDIO device, per definition it's not
a removable card (MMC_CAP_NONREMOVABLE should be set for the
corresponding mmc host), the SDIO card will stick around and instead
the ->suspend|resume() callback needs to be implemented for the SDIO
func driver.

Yes, see above.
