Yes, that is my understanding too. I double confirmed with HW team about 
this. So, even if we gate the clock directly at GCC, sdhc msm controller 
is capable of restoring it's register values.

In this case, it is not required to call for 
sdhci_runtime_suspend/resume from sdhci_msm_runtime routines right?
Instead we can only have disabling/enabling of clks from 
sdhci_msm_runtime_suspend/resume. Does this sounds good?
