Public bug reported:
Committing a firmware update with update_flash returns immediately:
# update_flash -c
Success: Committed temporary firmware image.
#
However, inspection shows that the firmware image is not committed yet;
rather, it's been scheduled but is still being copied:
# update_flash -v -f 01TV810_061_054.img
info: Current Temporary side will be committed to
Permanent side before being replaced with the new
image.
Projected Flash Update Results:
Current T Image: TV810_061
Current P Image: TV810_037
New T Image: TV810_061
New P Image: TV810_061

update_flash really ought not say "committed" until it's actually been
committed.
