On some platforms, firmware or other hardware accesses the card during suspend/resume, before the kernel's own resume path has run, leaving the card in a state the kernel can no longer assume it knows. Add a flag property so such boards can tell the mmc core the card needs to be reset before it can be used again. This is expected to be paired with keep-power-in-suspend on boards whose firmware needs the card to stay powered and live throughout suspend: since the card is never power-cycled, nothing else would force it back to a known state on resume. Signed-off-by: Kamal Dasu <[email protected]> --- Changes in v6: - New patch, per Ulf's suggestion: rather than fold "needs a reset at resume" into keep-power-in-suspend's own meaning, describe it as its own independent property, so the two can be combined only where actually needed (brcmstb sets both; SDIO's existing keep-power-in-suspend users are unaffected and set neither this nor a reset).
