I don't have any specific pointers at the moment, but I think the main
focus for drivers (or really any software) is being extremely careful
with data processing and the validation of command arguments. Never
assume the commands you're getting will follow an expected protocol:
pretend the device at the other end of the bus (or the bus itself!) is
trying to attack the driver. Same for any commands coming from
userspace.
Are there particular things you're concerned about for MMC security?
