Winbond is one of the chipsets used to for this. What complicates things is that it is a multi-function chip, and you have to put it in the correct mode, and then properly access it in order to read cards. Depending on the chipset, you may also need to write specific registers on the chip to select the type of memory card you want to read. My experience is with the TI chipset. It used to work with the mmc_blk and sdhci modules. With the 2.6.19 kernels, it uses the tifm modules. The same PCI device also handles my Cardbus slot, and Firewire connection.
