While debugging the the problem with btmrvl I found that this is
already the case without the patch, just not during resume, but when
suspending. The func driver suspends before the SDIO bus and
interrupts can keep coming in. These are processed while the func
driver is suspended, until the SDIO core starts dropping the
interrupts.

And I think it is also already true at resume time: mmc_sdio_resume()
re-enables SDIO IRQs and disables dropping them.

Is the assumption that no IRQs are generated after SDIO func suspend
unless wakeup is enabled?

On the system I'm currently debugging OOB wakeup is not working,
which might be part of the problem.
