This "will" improve system suspend/resume speed. I have resent this patch with updated commit message - "[PATCH v2] mmc: enable mmc host device to suspend/resume asynchronously".

The original suspend time is 1645ms and resume time is 940ms on ASUS T100TA machine. After enabling "wiphy device", "SDIO device", "mmc host" and "sdhci-acpi device" to suspend/resume asynchronously, the suspend time is 1096ms and resume time is 908ms. The test environment is listed as follows:

OS: Ubuntu 14.04
Kernel: mainline v4.1
Machine: ASUS T100TA(Baytrail-T platform)
Tool: analyze_suspend
âanalyze_suspend.py âf âm freezeâ to suspend system
Press power button to resume system

System PM is independent from runtime PM. Now, PM core supports asynchronous suspend/resume mode for devices during system suspend/resume, and the power state transition of one
device may be completed in separate kernel thread. PM core ensures all power state transition timing dependency between devices. This patch enables mmc host device to suspend/resume asynchronously. This will take advantage of multicore and improve system suspend/resume speed.
