Thanks for clarifying, please update the changelog accordingly.

Aha, I didn't read the code carefully enough. Apologize for the noise.

Right, I see that now, thanks for clarifying.

However, there are still some weird things going on in
sdhci_runtime_resume_host(). Like why is host->ops->enable_dma()
called first, directly from sdhci_runtime_resume_host(), then again in
sdhci_do_reset(), after host->ops->reset() has been called. Looks like
the first call to ->enable_dma() doesn't make sense?

I understand, but perhaps it would become more clear if
sdhci_runtime_resume_host() is re-factored a bit. Maybe the caller can
give it some new parameter to let it decide if a SDHCI_RESET_ALL shall
be done or not.
