Yes but it this time in vanilla kernel is new MMC/SD subsystem. Eg. in my new 
DELL 430 is Ricoh MMC controller and it 
work with SD card very well  and full source is included. May be don't support 
all SD features but many people include 
me didn't need this. I want use SD card as replacement CF card on older TS 
product.

But header file  differ from binary blob. And I mean there  is  no way to 
compile tsscard.ko to another kernel version. 
I spent lot of time but didn't get success.
