[PATCH 5/5] mmc: core: Add support for graceful host removal for SD

From: Ulf Hansson
Date: Thu Mar 20 2025 - 10:03:49 EST


An mmc host driver may allow to unbind from its corresponding host device.
If an SD card is attached to the host, the mmc core will just try to cut
the power for it, without obeying to the SD spec that potentially may
damage the card.

Let's fix this problem by implementing a graceful power-down of the card at
host removal.
