Hi. Andrei.

We can see all dump of ext_csd by using debugfs like this.

mount -t debugfs /dev/mmcblk0 /mnt/
cat /mnt/mmc0/mmc0\:0001/ext_csd

If user take care of it by showing all dump of ext_csd, we may be
comfortable more without having to worry.
But most of them that they do not know a lot of information.
If we provide some information they need them user friendly, I think
that user can use more easily mmc.

Thanks.
