I like the idea here. There is really no point checking this for every
corresponding request, nice!

However, the "discard arg" isn't specific to eMMC, as it's also used
for SD cards. So, the change log is a bit miss-leading, I think. Can
you please clarify this.

You are assigning card->discard_arg only for (e)MMC, while I think you
should do that also for SD.

I guess it practice it doesn't matter, because MMC_ERASE_ARG is zero.
Although, I would prefer to keep the code consistent, so I think you
should assign card->discard_arg for for SD cards as well.

Please move this a couple of lines above, close to the other "erase"
related variables.

You may even consider to rename the arg to "erase_arg", but I have no
strong opinion changing to that.
