You're right, and the commit message is wrong. The partition is
restored every time a call into OP-TEE returns, not when the session is
released. And tbh I re-tested  both bootmeth with AVB TA (+ also with
RPMB wiped) and
separate avb cmds like:  avb read_rb, read_part, verify, write_rb and mmc read,
without this patch, with only patch 2 on top of master, on QEMU with the AVB TA
and all of it works.

I can no longer reproduce the timeouts and I/O errors
from the commit message. Seems that they came from a tree with several fixes in
flight at once, the sdhci status-timeout one among them (which was
accepted recently),
and I wrongly attributed them this patch, so I apologize for the noise.

So please feel free to drop this patch. Patch 2 applies to master on
its own, and I
can resend it alone as v5 if you prefer and you don't have objections.

Thanks
