Agree, and thanks for the detailed description of the problem!

Hmm, in the first scan-attempt there will be an SDIO card properly
detected, right!?
The problem occurs when the SDIO func driver gets probed and when it
loads the new firmware, which may happen later or even not at all as
it also depends if the SDIO func driver has been registered.

I am also thinking about the system PM suspend/resume case. In cases
where the SDIO card actually becomes powered off/on in suspend/resume.
In this case, I assume the SDIO card will be re-detected through
mmc_sdio_resume(), although the same sequence as during the SDIO func
driver ->probe() must be repeated (loading firmware etc).

To me it seems like we need a new SDIO func API, to re-initialize the
SDIO card without powering off it first. I guess in the end it will be
quite similar to what you propose, but my point is that I rather make
this a specific SDIO API instead of trying to hook it into the rescan
sequence.
