I think the first screaming thing here is ... why is this all multiplied by 
SECTOR_SIZE before doing the comparisons and stuffs ? You can do that later 
(that does mean do it later, yes).

Try this:

u64 mmc_cap = ums_dev->mmc->capacity / SECTOR_SIZE;
u64 ums_start = ums_dev->offset;
u64 ums_end = ums_start + ums_dev->part_size;

/* Start past MMC size. */
if (ums_start >= mmc_cap)
	return -EINVAL;

/* End past MMC size. */
if (ums_end > mmc_cap) {
	puts("UMS region larger than MMC device, capping\n");
	ums_end = mmc_cap;
}

*capacity = (ums_end - ums_start) * SECTOR_SIZE;

Does this work? You'd need to add debug.
