Well, if an older kernel uses the card reader normally and newer kernels
don't, then I assume a kernel bug is responsible.

What *I* would do is to use git-bisect in Linus's kernel git repository to
isolate the "bad" commit and then report it to the person who submitted the
original bad patch to Linus.

If that idea sounds weird -- I plead nolo contendere.  Yet, it gets kernel
bugs fixed.  (Very roughly paraphrasing Galileo ;)
