Two questions:

*) Is this problem limited to FFU? What about other regular
close-ended writes through the mmc ioctl? Do those have problems too -
and if so, do we care about fixing them?

**) I suspect this problem is common to those mmc host drivers that
have the auto-cmd12 feature. With the approach taken in the $subject
series, each and every host driver would need to make adoptions too. I
think we should try to fix this in the core, solely, instead.
Something along the lines of how we manage rpmb requests, where we add
on and "mrq.sbc" for the write/read request. Would this work, you
think?

Kind regards
Uffe
