The ioctl will eventually return an error, and reset is needed anyway. If the eMMC is the primary storage, the platform is rebooting without being aware what went wrong.

Some eMMC devices (e.g., BGSD4R and AIM20F) may enter an unresponsive state after encountering CRC errors during RPMB writes (CMD25). This prevents the device from switching back to the main partition via CMD6, blocking further I/O operations. The root cause is suspected to be a firmware/hardware issue in specific eMMC models. A workaround is to perform a hardware reset via mmc_hw_reset() when the partition switch fails, followed by a retry. Add a workaround that: 1. If initial partition switch fails after rpmb access 2. Performs mmc card reset using mmc_hw_reset() 3. Retries switching to main partition This helps resolve cases where the device becomes unresponsive after RPMB operations.
