After enabling asynchronous suspend/resume, PM core still ensures the strict suspend/resume dependency between child and parent devices - child must be suspended before its parent, and parent must be resumed before its child. SDIO function is child of SDIO card, and SDIO card is child of MMC host, and MMC host is child of MMC controller. So the dependency chain is not broken. Actually,  many devices have been using asynchronous suspend/resume mode now.
