This patch looks extremely unsafe to someone that doesn't have the
benefit of being able to look at your firmware code.  What firmware
errors are you ignoring?  What state is the card in whenever these
errors are returned?  Is there even a remote possibility that the
firmware being in this state and returning these errors will either A)
cause erroneous attempts to write to user memory or B) interfere with
future attempts to create PDs or other contexts on the card?
