Hi Oleksij:
We will modify the TODO file to manifest our next steps on Realtek card
reader drivers. And as to your feature request, we will add it in our
new driver stack.
Many Thanks!

Hi wwang:
I just noticed that your answer was not CCed to driver@ list. It is
important to let other know, that you working on the driver. I started
my work because there was no match activity on the it, no notice in the
TODO list and no driver for rts5139 on realteks website.
If you agree you or i can forward your previous response to mailing list.
And i have one feature request. Please provide some sort of access to
CID data of the sd card. Current driver which i use, redirect response
of ALL_SEND_CID to the NULL. If you will use mmc framework, then it is
not your problem. But if you will use your own implementation, then
please provide it, over /proc/scsi or /sys interface or just to printk
it to the dmesg.
Currently i made a patch for your driver to pritnk it and do some of my
computer forensic work on the laptop with this card reader.

Hi Oleksij:
1. Will you base your new driver on linux/drivers/mmc stack?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It's another plan.
linux/drivers/mmc stack is great for sd/mmc card, but rts5139 and other
Realtek card readers also support memory stick and xd card. It will be a
bit difficult to integrate other card model with linux sd/mmc stack. And
if we take compatibility issue into consideration, a standalone driver
is still a wiser choice for us. But we do have a plan to write a sd
only driver, based on linux sd/mmc stack.
2. Are there any open documentation for rts5139 or is it NDA?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
No, we don't have detailed open document for rts5139 yet. And the legal
issue is not my concern, so I can't answer your question on NDA for now.
3. the current driver has polling function, it produce 1% CPU load. Even
if no card is present. Are there any plans to avoid it in new stack? Or
at least increase polling interval to 100 or more instead of currently
used 50?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We also notice CPU loading issue recently. Increasing polling interval
is the way to solve it. But only increasing it will cause other problem,
such as slow card detection. We will give our solution in the next
release.
Best regards,
wwang
