What f_init did the original rescan work find out being successful?

Did you then verify that it was *another* frequency that made the
initialization to work in the resume?

This loop is wrong, as you don't consider that host->f_min may not
exactly match the frequencies in the freqs array.

The mmc core expects the host/card to be powered up after a resume, as
it may send commands to it without first invoking mmc_power_up().
Even if those commands may fail (or timeout), at least those doesn't
hang which may be the case if the host/card isn't powered up first.

So, you must *not* leave the host/card in "mmc_power_off()" state in
_mmc_resume().
