But how the SDHCI controller generate CD interrupt when it's in runtime suspended
state, i.e clock gated or power gated?

But seems we still didn't know the sdhci host is clock gated or power gated.

Can you plz read the SDHCI host registers after this step? If the host is
clock gated, we should get "asynchronous external abort" in theory.

Thanks
