OK, here more data points: My test is to insert GPS card and do a 'cat /dev/ttySDIO0' and watch NMEA data scrolling by. With "sdio_uart: Move the open lock" applied, I can pull the card out and the cat process terminates. However inserting the card back and repeating the test again always gives me: cat: /dev/ttySDIO0: Input/output error until I reboot. Same thing happens if I terminates cat with ^C and start it again. With "sdio_uart: Switch to the open/close helpers" applied, things got even worse. Interrupting cat with ^C still gives the same result as above. But yanking the card out when cat is still running doesn't terminate cat unless I ^C it at which point the kernel crashes with a BUG().
