Hi Jean-Michel, I am not sure adding a DT binding for non access to rpmb would be needed. At least until we heard of a similar case as Adrian describes but for rpmb. BTW, I just posted a patch which disabled partition scan of the boot area, what to you think about that? http://marc.info/?l=linux-mmc&m=140973496402028&w=2 Finally I am also wondering whether we could and thus should, handle these situations entirely without using a host cap. In principle what we need is a more sophisticated error handling when the switch errors occurs, while trying to switch to the boot area/rpmb partitions. Could you maybe investigate that option, before we decide to add a new DT binding?
