Subject: [PATCH v6 2/3] dt-bindings: mmc: Add reset-card-at-resume property
Date: Tue,  4 Aug 2026 16:38:17 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260804203818.881765-3-kamal.dasu@broadcom.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260804203818.881765-1-kamal.dasu@broadcom.com>

On some platforms, firmware or other hardware accesses the card
during suspend/resume, before the kernel's own resume path has run,
leaving the card in a state the kernel can no longer assume it knows.
Add a flag property so such boards can tell the mmc core the card
needs to be reset before it can be used again.

This is expected to be paired with keep-power-in-suspend on boards
whose firmware needs the card to stay powered and live throughout
suspend: since the card is never power-cycled, nothing else would
force it back to a known state on resume.

Changes in v6:
  - New patch, per Ulf's suggestion: rather than fold "needs a reset
    at resume" into keep-power-in-suspend's own meaning, describe it
    as its own independent property, so the two can be combined only
    where actually needed (brcmstb sets both; SDIO's existing
    keep-power-in-suspend users are unaffected and set neither this
    nor a reset).
