Hi Pierre,

Patch looks ok. But I never got an answer what the difference between
"change" and "assign" is.

You're right, the command is the same, but the difference is the password's
length and password itself sent to the card.
According to MMC spec 4.1, when a password replacement is done, the length value
(PWD_LEN) shall include both passwords, the old and the new one, and the password
(PWD) shall include the old (currently) followed by the new password.

Best Regards,
