Only a general concern.

You are right here.
There is a very unlikely case that suspend of sd/mmc card fails (with
CONFIG_MMC_UNSAFE_RESUME set, and that will trigger the hang, but that
currently isn't possible because both mmc_sd_suspend and mmc_suspend
just return 0 unconditionally).

Btw, two above functions are identical, so some refactoring won't hurt.

So sorry for noise (and bug).
