Thanks a lot for providing a man-page for the mmc command.

You have to change doc/usage/index.rst too.

This sub-command is missing below.

Please, add missing full stops '.'.

Please format arguments like this:

addr
	memory address

You can check the formatting using 'make htmldocs'.

Please, remove the brackets.

The *mmc list* command ...

The *mmc wp* command ...

%s/about/for/

Please, mention that power cycling is needed to lift the write protection.

The *mmc bootbus* command ...

partitions.

How about:

target size of boot partition

%s/chagne/change/

target size of RPMB partition

field?

I think we should describe what a RST_n_FUNCTION is.

We should enumerate the allowable values. The eMMC specification (JEDEC
Standard No. 84-B51, 2014) has:

0x0: RST_n signal is temporarily disabled (default)
0x1: RST_n signal is permanently enabled
0x2: RST_n signal is permanently disabled

Some sub-command need require further configuration:

write, erase
	CONFIG_MMC_WRITE=y
