This looks a little risky.  There's a window where the pm notifier
remains registered after we've done the device_del() and the
led_trigger_unregister_simple().

I don't know if the code's really buggy, nor if it might become buggy
in the future as things evolve.  But as register_pm_notifier() is the
last thing we do before mmc_start_host(), I'd have though that
unregister_pm_notifier() should be the first thing we do after
mmc_stop_host()?

It's unusual to provide names for some of the arguments and to leave
them out for others.
