I think this feature needs much more discussion to make sure we
get a good user experience when it gets added to all mmc controllers.

rtsx is a bit of a special case for mmc controllers already, but we will
likely see the same requirements for a lot more mmc host drivers.

I suspect we need to tie in both the mmc block and nvme device
drivers to properly do a handover, to ensure that there is a way to
identify the block device as reliably getting probed as at least one
of the two (sd or nvme) and to get identified as the same device
during the handover, in particular across a suspend or hibernate
event.

I understand that this patch is very desirable for users, but let's
not rush it.
