udev access to SD card after using USBStorageDriver.write_image()

[csf-k]

If I set the mode of a SDMux from “host” to “dut” directly after using the write_image() method of labgrid.driver.usbsdmuxdriver, I get the following error message in dmesg:

When investigating the cause of the error, I noticed that after write_image() the SD card is idle for approx. 100ms before it is used by udev for approx. 200ms. After that the SD card remains idle.

What is the recommended procedure to ensure that after executing write_image() the SD card is no longer used and it is safe to set the mode of the SDMux from "host" to "dut"?

I wonder if this depends on the SD card or the SDMux. This should be fixed either in kernel (which shouldn't make the device available to userspace before it is usable) or the hardware itself if this is a hardware issue.
