I haven't really thought about the SPI part that much. It has just the
one driver, so bugs should not be that reoccuring. There's no harm in
making mmc_test handle it though.

I don't know why those tests fail. There's a bit hackish, so they might
not work as intended with the SPI version of the protocol. Basically,
the send and invalid request to the controller where the card will stop
the data transaction too early. This is a crude test to make sure the
controller doesn't over-estimate the amount of data transferred.
