Title:
  update_flash -c returns 'success' before the firmware is actually
  committed

Status in powerpc-utils package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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
  #

  Looking in ASM shows:

  Requestor: 0x9500
  Operation: Commit
  Status: Incomplete
  Current Side: T
  Start Date: 20140908

  End Date: 0

  End Cur Side:
  End Other Side:

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