mmc_sd_remove() calls mmc_remove_card(), which calls device_del() on
the corresponding card->dev.

That leads to ->remove() callback gets invoked for card->dev (see
mmc_blk_remove()), which ideally should clean up everything mmc block
device related. In other words, beyond this point there should be no
thread/user that can call mmc_hw_reset() (which invokes
mmc_sd_hw_reset().

So, from the above reasoning I need to ask, have you really seen the
NULL pointer exception happening? (then we need to look more closely
at mmc_blk_remove()) Or do you think there is a problem from a
code-inspection point of view?

Kind regards
