To my opinion, the host cannot decide not to support BKOPs if it is
enabled by the card. In such a case, the card will expect the host to
start the BKOPs and may get into performance degradation.
I think the MMC_CAP2_BKOPS should be removed.
Does everyone agree or do I miss something?

I don't understand the comment regarding the case where err equals
-EINVAL. Can you please explain it?

Change the comment to be general (don't mention BKOPs level 1), something
like:
No need to check card status in case of unblocking command.
Also, 1 line comment should be /* comment */

Thanks,
