Cache is a temporary storage space in an eMMC device. Volatile by
nature, the cache should in typical case reduce the access time compared
to an access to the main nonvolatile storage.

The cache function can be turned ON and OFF. Once OFF, the host is not
expected to issue a flush-cache command to the device.

Done.
