I'm running v2015.04 on a non-upstream platform.

The command takes a while and it is erasing all blocks.
I still get a timeout error at the end and a zero number of sectors, though.

=> mmc erase 441000 10000

MMC erase: dev # 0, block # 4460544, count 65536 ... Timeout waiting card ready
0 blocks erased: ERROR


but all blocks were erased correctly.
