Hi Holger,
Sorry for the delay.
My advise right now is to try this out via the mmc ioctl in userspace,
yes. Although, if you encounter any issues with that approach that it
might not be reliable, I am open to look into the in-kernel solution
again.
Regarding mmc-utils as where I recommend you to implement this, I have
been thinking of moving this tool into the tools directory in the
kernel.
Baolin Wang, at Linaro is currently looking into this to see if it's
feasible. Ideas/comments are usual greatly appreciated.
Kind regards
Uffe
