The Ricoh SD card reader on my laptop works fine with the sdhci driver. |
| 13 |
The only oddity is that the mmc-block driver doesn't have sysfs support, |
| 14 |
so udev doesn't create the device nodes. As far as I can tell, Ricoh |
| 15 |
doesn't release programming specs, but they seem to make devices that |
| 16 |
don't need vendor-specific drivers when possible. So we don't find out |
| 17 |
about their errata, but they may well never actually notice the quirks in |
| 18 |
the first place. |
