You are right..##??!! HW vendors that does not support standards...

AFAIK (was working on a sdio HW IP team before), the sdio clock is not
supposed to be taken as is for a system clock derivative especially
because it can stop between request.
SDIO IRQ are asynchronous when a command or data is not ongoing

I would personally suggest white list from drivers. With a call to
mmc_host_allow_gate_card(struct mmc_card *card, bool allow)

see following patch..
