[PATCH] misc: rtsx_usb: reset chip on resume to restore card detection
From: Greg S
Date: Tue Apr 07 2026 - 07:57:36 EST
After S3 suspend the Realtek RTS5129 USB card reader loses its internal
state, but rtsx_usb_resume() does not reinitialize it — it only wakes up
child devices. As a result, the first command sent to the chip after
resume times out with -ETIMEDOUT and the mmc subsystem never re-detects
the card. The SD card (mmcblk0) disappears and does not come back until
the next full reboot.
rtsx_usb_reset_resume() already handles this correctly by calling
rtsx_usb_reset_chip() before waking children. Apply the same logic to
the regular resume path.
Tested on a laptop with an RTS5129 (0x0bda:0x0129) built-in card reader
and a 128 GB SDXC card. Before the patch, mmcblk0 was lost after every
S3 cycle; after the patch, the card is reliably re-detected on resume.
