According to information I have got around the eMMC 5.1 spec, the old value of MAN_EN will remain. That also means that bit will remain as one time programmable. The new AUTO_EN bit, will be multiple writeable with value kept after power failure. But more importantly, the card seems to expect the host to disable AUTO_EN before power failure. In other words we need to disable AUTO_EN (if set) before entering system PM state an cutting power to the card. So, yes, we will have to deal with AUTO_EN sooner or later, thus I am kind of happy Alexey's patch, as is.
