-SD and MMC Block Device Attributes
-==================================
-
-These attributes are defined for the block devices associated with the
-SD or MMC device.
-
-The following attributes are read/write.
-
- force_ro Enforce read-only access even if write protect switch is off.
-

-Note on Erase Size and Preferred Erase Size:
-
- "erase_size" is the minimum size, in bytes, of an erase
- operation. For MMC, "erase_size" is the erase group size
- reported by the card. Note that "erase_size" does not apply
- to trim or secure trim operations where the minimum size is
- always one 512 byte sector. For SD, "erase_size" is 512
- if the card is block-addressed, 0 otherwise.
-
- SD/MMC cards can erase an arbitrarily large area up to and
- including the whole card. When erasing a large area it may
- be desirable to do it in smaller chunks for three reasons:
- 1. A single erase command will make all other I/O on
- the card wait. This is not a problem if the whole card
- is being erased, but erasing one partition will make
- I/O for another partition on the same card wait for the
- duration of the erase - which could be a several
- minutes.
- 2. To be able to inform the user of erase progress.
- 3. The erase timeout becomes too large to be very
- useful. Because the erase timeout contains a margin
- which is multiplied by the size of the erase area,
- the value can end up being several minutes for large
- areas.
-
- "erase_size" is not the most efficient unit to erase
- (especially for SD where it is just one sector),
- hence "preferred_erase_size" provides a good chunk
- size for erasing large areas.
-
- For MMC, "preferred_erase_size" is the high-capacity
- erase size if a card specifies one, otherwise it is
- based on the capacity of the card.
-
- For SD, "preferred_erase_size" is the allocation unit
- size specified by the card.
-
- "preferred_erase_size" is in bytes.
-
-Note on raw_rpmb_size_mult:
- "raw_rpmb_size_mult" is a multiple of 128kB block.
- RPMB size in byte is calculated by using the following equation:
- RPMB partition size = 128kB x raw_rpmb_size_mult
