There isn't ready to apply patch, sorry; while the SD/MMC driver itself = is a pretty self-contained piece of code = (http://people.freebsd.org/~raj/misc/mv_sdio.c), there are extensions = and updates required to the GPIO code to make it work (some MMC lines go = through the GPIO, we need to handle debouncing for presence detect = signals and so on); we have other local GPIO modifications, and this is = where some work is required to distill, clean up and reintagrate with = HEAD. Keep nagging me about it and I'll finally complete the integration :-) Rafal
