It's really the bus we care about at this stage, since the errors we
receive are along the lines of "the card reported that the last data
block had a CRC error", "we encountered an underrun condition during
the last data block", or "the card didn't request data before we
timed out", etc.
Basically, the transfer of the next block confirms that the previous
block was successfully received by the card.
