How-to use the sdio driver?

[Lars Holowko]

Thanks Daniel,

For confirming that it should work. At least I know that I am not on the
wrong track. I'll keep checking my GPIOs.

Your driver should be probed once the device was detected on the SDIO
bus. Make sure all modules are loaded and the pin functions are set up
correctly. Is the power domain for that chip set up? Some board have
MOSFET load switches connected to GPIOs in order to be able to switch
off the device on demand.

Don't know you board environment, but on PXA based machines, there is no
more glue logic you need to provide.

You will need to provide a firmware later on, but that's a different
story.
