If one device has been set to support asynchronous PM mode, it's suspend/resume operation can be performed in a separate kernel thread and take advantage of multicore feature to improve overall system suspend/resume speed. The worst case is that all device suspend/resume threads will be scheduled to the same CPU, it hardly occur.

Once one device subsystem choose to use this feature, its safety is up to PM core as long as device subsystem has initialized fully this device.

Sorry for replying this mail after long leave.

Thanks for your comments. I have added the test result into commit message and sent the latest version of this patch: "[PATCH v3] MMC/SDIO: enable SDIO device to suspend/resume asynchronously"
