This does not disable the cache, it disables the block layer from issuing
cache flushes (by telling it there is no cache being used).
It would be good to know what commands are failing, which should be visible
in the kernel messages if dynamic debug is enabled:
Dynamic debug for mmc
---------------------
Kernel must be configured:
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG=y
To enable mmc debug via sysfs:
echo 'file drivers/mmc/core/* +p' > /sys/kernel/debug/dynamic_debug/control
echo 'file drivers/mmc/host/* +p' > /sys/kernel/debug/dynamic_debug/control
To enable mmc debug via kernel command line:
dyndbg="file drivers/mmc/core/* +p;file drivers/mmc/host/* +p"
To disable mmc debug:
echo 'file drivers/mmc/core/* -p' > /sys/kernel/debug/dynamic_debug/control
echo 'file drivers/mmc/host/* -p' > /sys/kernel/debug/dynamic_debug/control
More general information in kernel documentation in kernel tree:
