The "non-removable" property is a specific property to avoid the risk of
writing back data to a different card after resume. If you just want to
test the suspend function, you can add "mmc_core.removable=0" in your
boot arg.

The "keep-power-in-suspend" is used for the BRCM43xx series SDIO device.
Without this, it can't go into suspend mode.
