There are still 2 concerns:
1) We don't really know the root cause.  Have you determined
if here are CRC errors in the main partition also?
2) Forcing this on everyone

The original idea was that because re-tuning cannot be
done in RPMB, the need to re-rune in RPMB could be avoided
by always re-tuning before switching to RPMB and then switching
straight back. IIRC re-tuning should guarantee at least 4MB
more I/O without issue.

The alternative to dropping re-tuning in this case could
be to add a retry loop for MMC_DRV_OP_IOCTL_RPMB if the error
is -EILSEQ

Better to just drop mmc_retune_needed(host);

There is still a small chance that re-tuning
is needed anyway in which case it will still be done.
