Hi,
Having capability to flash sparse images from mmc subsystem could be useful. For example, non-android/fastboot platforms could leverage the concept. Or some platforms that need to 'pull' updates (get images over tftp and flash using mmc). Or when we want to flash image at some non-zero offset from the start of a partition. Or simply when USB-Device has issues for fastboot to work (my itch).
This patchset first cleans and makes write_sparse_image agnostic of fastboot and then adds a new 'swrite' command to 'mmc'.

A polite reminder to look into the patchset please.
