You don't need to worry much about this. MMC/SD card are not a raw flash
devices they contain FTL that handles this internally. See
http://www.linux-mtd.infradead.org/doc/ubifs.html#L_raw_vs_ftl
for details.
That's why you can use generic filesystems on MMC/SD (neither FAT not
EXT2/3/4 is not designed for raw flash).
Regards, Ilya.
