This reintroduces the bug I fixed.

if the CONFIG_MMC_UNSAFE_RESUME isn't set (and that is default
unfortunately), the host->bus_ops->resume will be NULL (see core/mmc.c
mmc_ops), and therefore card will be removed, that will trigger a block
device removal, sync, and deadlock).

I actually thought about the sdio case. Sorry for breaking yet.

My idea was to move the effective suspend/resume to a pm notifier,
and the mmc_pm_notify is supposed to do the job.

Could you test why it fails?

The relevant code in mmc_pm_notify:

		if (!host->bus_ops || host->bus_ops->suspend)
			break;

		mmc_claim_host(host);

		if (host->bus_ops->remove)
			host->bus_ops->remove(host);

		mmc_detach_bus(host);
		mmc_release_host(host);
		host->pm_flags = 0;
		break;


So NULL host->bus_ops->suspend should trigger a card remove by that
function and it did here on my system without CONFIG_MMC_UNSAFE_RESUME.

I suspect that in your case, the .suspend isn't NULL, but .resume is.
Then, we just need an one liner change to mmc_pm_notify to account that
case.

Note that I don't call the  host->bus_ops->suspend(host); in
mmc_pm_notify on purpose as it is too early.

So what happens if you set .suspend to NULL? instead of -ENOSYS return?
