The purpose of SLEEP_NOTIFICATION is to give the eMMC enough time to prepare
itself before powered off.
Before the SLEEP_NOTIFICATION fetcher the eMMC did not know he will get into
sleep but only when the sleep was issued
With this solution the device start to prepare itself during the sleep
preparation
