[PATCH v12 6/6] mmc: core: Add support for resetting an eMMC at system resume

From: Kamal Dasu

Date: Wed Nov 11 2026 - 15:20:50 EST


From: Ulf Hansson <ulf.hansson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The DT property reset-card-at-resume specifies that we need to make a reset
of an eMMC card at system resume, assuming it also has stayed powered on
during system suspend.

To implement support for this, let's start by parsing for the new DT
property and set the new bit MMC_CAP2_RESET_AT_RESUME if it's found. Based
on the property, we must also set MMC_PM_KEEP_POWER in the pm_flags for the
host, to keep the eMMC powered on during system suspend.

Finally, to manage the actual reset during system resume, let's extend
mmc_resume() to support the needed behaviour.

The property only makes sense together with keep-power-in-suspend, as the
card would otherwise be powered off and system suspend is refused. Validate
that in mmc_validate_host_caps(), to make the host probe fail upfront on
such a misconfiguration.

While at it, claim the host around the reset in mmc_resume(), as it sends
commands to the card, and propagate any error from the reset so that a
failure to re-initialize the card is reported by the resume path.
