Good documentation :) https://elinux.org/Tests:SDIO-KS7010 About testing, when the first set of staging-cleanup patches came in, I actually tested them. But after some weeks, I stopped doing that because the amount of patches was just too high and the developers mostly too inexperienced to understand potential side-effects of their changes. I didn't have the bandwidth to educate them. > I am asking because I tried to find a test device to test it. That is > difficult in 2024. I still have one or two cards.

Frankly, I think it can be removed. When I upstreamed the code, it served two purposes: a) I needed to test SDIO communication on my back then recent boards. That worked, but I have other hardware now with SDIO on board. b) there were different versions of KS7010 drivers floating on the net. I combined them into one and made sure it was easy to compile with upstream Linux. We have that definitive version in the history now. As both purposes are fulfilled, I don't think we need to maintain this code anymore. I couldn't imagine someone wants to convert it from WEXT to cfg80211/nl80211 which would be needed for mainline. Thanks and happy hacking, Wolfram
