I am also okay with $subject patch - and I agree with you Linus, that
it sounds reasonable to pick something specific for RPMB. I guess the
question is rather what value to pick, but I guess Bean can have some
ideas for that, at least for Micron eMMCs. BTW, we do something very
similar for mmc_sanitize() already.
