Shouldn't this be done automatically as part of blk_write? Similar to
how all FS operations in U-Boot look like
- Mount FS
- Perform operation
- Unmount FS
so the FS is never in an inconsistent state once an operation completes.
Is the performance impact too much? I'm just concerned that a lot of
existing code assumes that blk_write is persistent and that it's OK
to e.g. immediately reset after blk_write returns.
