[PATCH] misc: rtsx_usb: reset chip on resume to restore card detection

[Greg S]

After S3 suspend the Realtek RTS5129 USB card reader loses its internal
state, but rtsx_usb_resume() does not reinitialize it — it only wakes up
child devices.  As a result, the first command sent to the chip after
resume times out with -ETIMEDOUT and the mmc subsystem never re-detects
the card.  The SD card (mmcblk0) disappears and does not come back until
the next full reboot.

rtsx_usb_reset_resume() already handles this correctly by calling
rtsx_usb_reset_chip() before waking children.  Apply the same logic to
the regular resume path.

Tested on a laptop with an RTS5129 (0x0bda:0x0129) built-in card reader
and a 128 GB SDXC card.  Before the patch, mmcblk0 was lost after every
S3 cycle; after the patch, the card is reliably re-detected on resume.

The patch looks reasonable to me, but perhaps we also need a fixes tag?

I have also looped in some of the relevant driver authors to get
confirmation that the change makes sense.

Kind regards

Good point, thanks. Here is v2 with the Fixes tag added.

[PATCH v2] misc: rtsx_usb: reset chip on resume to re-detect card after S3

After S3 suspend the Realtek RTS5129 USB card reader loses its internal
state, but rtsx_usb_resume() does not reinitialize it — it only wakes up
child devices.  As a result, the first command sent to the chip after
resume times out with -ETIMEDOUT and the mmc subsystem never re-detects
the card.  The SD card (mmcblk0) disappears and does not come back until
the next full reboot.

rtsx_usb_reset_resume() already handles this correctly by calling
rtsx_usb_reset_chip() before waking children.  Apply the same logic to
the regular resume path.

Tested on a laptop with an RTS5129 (0x0bda:0x0129) built-in card reader
and a 128 GB SDXC card.  Before the patch, mmcblk0 was lost after every
S3 cycle; after the patch, the card is reliably re-detected on resume.
