Thanks. We should explain the nature of the bug in the commit message,
so that users and the stable@ maintainers know how bad the problem is
by reading the patch. (This should go to stable@, right? Do you know
which kernel versions are affected?)

I'll add something like this, unless you have a better proposal:

==
For several MoviNAND, there are some known issues with secure option.
For these specific MoviNAND device, we skip secure option.

Specifically, there is a bug in the eMMC firmware that causes
unrecoverable corruption when the MMC is erased with MMC_CAP_ERASE
enabled.

You could refer this discussion in XDA developers.
