+SD and MMC Block Device Attributes
+==================================
+
+These attributes are defined for the block devices associated with the
+SD or MMC device.
+
+The following attributes are read/write.
+
+        force_ro                Enforce read-only access even if write protect switch is off.

+SD and MMC Device Partitions
+============================
+
+Device partitions are additional logical block devices present on the
+SD/MMC device.
+
+As of this writing, MMC boot partitions as supported and exposed as
+/dev/mmcblkXboot0 and /dev/mmcblkXboot1, where X is the index of the
+parent /dev/mmcblkX.
+
+MMC Boot Partitions
+===================
+
+Read and write access is provided to the two MMC boot partitions. Due to
+the sensitive nature of the boot partition contents, which often store
+a bootloader or bootloader configuration tables crucial to booting the
+platform, write access is disabled by default to reduce the chance of
+accidental bricking.
+
+To enable write access to /dev/mmcblkXbootY, disable the forced read-only
+access with:
+
+echo 0 > /sys/block/mmcblkXbootY/force_ro
+
+To re-enable read-only access:
+
+echo 1 > /sys/block/mmcblkXbootY/force_ro
