Subject: mmc: card: Don't access RPMB partitions for normal read/write

From: Chuanxiao Dong <[email protected]>

commit 4e93b9a6abc0d028daf3c8a00cb77b679d8a4df4 upstream.

During kernel boot, it will try to read some logical sectors of each block device node for the possible partition table.

But since RPMB partition is special and can not be accessed
by normal eMMC read / write CMDs, it will cause below error
messages during kernel boot:
...
mmc0: Got data interrupt 0x00000002 even though no data operation was in progress.
mmcblk0rpmb: error -110 transferring data, sector 0, nr 32, cmd response 0x900, card status 0xb00
mmcblk0rpmb: retrying using single block read
mmcblk0rpmb: timed out sending r/w cmd command, card status 0x400900
mmcblk0rpmb: timed out sending r/w cmd command, card status 0x400900
mmcblk0rpmb: timed out sending r/w cmd command, card status 0x400900
mmcblk0rpmb: timed out sending r/w cmd command, card status 0x400900
mmcblk0rpmb: timed out sending r/w cmd command, card status 0x400900
mmcblk0rpmb: timed out sending r/w cmd command, card status 0x400900
end_request: I/O error, dev mmcblk0rpmb, sector 0
Buffer I/O error on device mmcblk0rpmb, logical block 0
end_request: I/O error, dev mmcblk0rpmb, sector 8
Buffer I/O error on device mmcblk0rpmb, logical block 1
end_request: I/O error, dev mmcblk0rpmb, sector 16
Buffer I/O error on device mmcblk0rpmb, logical block 2
end_request: I/O error, dev mmcblk0rpmb, sector 24
Buffer I/O error on device mmcblk0rpmb, logical block 3
...

This patch will discard the access request in eMMC queue if it is RPMB partition access request. By this way, it avoids trigger above error messages.
