it works as designed. USB driver change hardware state, so we cannot
give control back to firmware. You need to use direct hardware access
drivers from this point on. "nativedisk" command handles disk access for
you.

This is still best effort. We hope that firmware won't try to access
hardware on its own, but we do not really know it nor control it.
