Subject: mfd: rtsx_usb: Fix runtime PM deadlock

commit b166010f6afbadb896efa37ff85eb681a8f89392 upstream.

sd_set_power_mode() in derived module drivers/mmc/host/rtsx_usb_sdmmc.c
acquires dev_mutex and then calls pm_runtime_get_sync() to make sure the
device is awake while initializing a newly inserted card. Once it is
called during suspending state and explicitly before rtsx_usb_suspend()
acquires the same dev_mutex, both routine deadlock and further hang the
driver because pm_runtime_get_sync() waits the pending PM operations.

Fix this by using an empty suspend method. mmc_core always turns the
LED off after a request is done and thus it is ok to remove the only
rtsx_usb_turn_off_led() here.
