Do we need these messages at all? Or should we not just turn these
printf() into debug() ?

If not, the "mmcsilent" variable needs to be documented.

Best regards,

I'm not familiar with DFU mode, but is there a reason it's invoking the
command line call, rather than accessing the card programmatically? The
reason that printf is there is because it's a user-facing interface, rather
than a software-facing interface.

No there is not. It's just what was there and the messages were irritating. I would prefer a software interface TBH.

When using MMC commands for dfu there is considerable noise.
Suppress mmc messages when mmcsilent is set.

I'm trying to recall.  Part of the issue was that, I believe, there
wasn't an easy software interface to all of the MMC commands that we
needed to use here.  It might however have boiled down to as a future
clean-up, abstract things so that cmd_mmc and cmd_dfu could make use
of the same lower level code.
