Thanks for the detailed changelog, much appreciated!

In one way, this change makes sense as it adopts the legacy behavior,
signaling "cached" SDIO IRQs also for the new SDIO irq work interface.

However, there is at least one major concern I see with this approach.
That is, in the execution path for sdio_signal_irq() (or calling
wake_up_process() for the legacy path), we may end up invoking the
SDIO func's ->irq_handler() callback, as to let the SDIO func driver
to consume the SDIO IRQ.

The problem with this is, that the corresponding SDIO func driver may
not have been system resumed, when the ->irq_handler() callback is
invoked. If the SDIO func driver would have configured the IRQ as a
wakeup, then I would expect this to work, but not just by having a
maintained power to the card.

In the end, I think we need to deal with synchronizations for this,
through the mmc/sdio core, in one way or the other - before we kick
SDIO IRQs during system resume.
