Eh, that is right. Will fix in the next submission

As mmc spec said, 8 clock cycles is needed. That is right.
But I think if we have set the auto suspended delay for host, runtime pm core could make sure host to wait at least the auto suspended delay before shutting down the power of the device. So if the auto suspended delay is longer than 8 clock cycles, the mmc protocol can be followed, right?
