It's called from mmc_set_initial_state(), which is documented as:

/*
 * Set initial state after a power cycle or a hw_reset.
 */

Please clarify how that corresponds to "MMC runtime suspend/resume".

The flag has a different name in the code.

Add parentheses around 'host->caps2 & MMC_CAP2_CRYPTO'

Well, it does support inline crypto key reprogramming.  It just doesn't want the
MMC core driver to handle it.  Please update the comment to something like:
/* Host driver handles crypto key reprogramming */
