mmc: export eMMC4.4 enhanced area details to sysfs
Enhanced area feature is a new feature defined in eMMC4.4 standard. This
user data area provides higher performance/reliability, at the expense
of using twice the effective media space due to the area using SLC.
The MMC driver now reads out the enhanced area offset and size and adds
them to the device attributes in sysfs. Enabling the enhanced area can
only be done once, and should be done in manufacturing. To use this
feature, bit ERASE_GRP_DEF should also be set.
Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-devices-mmc describes the two new
attributes.
