That is correct.

Kind of. The JMicron controller supports 50 MHz SD cards, but it
restricted to 25 MHz in the name of higher compatibility.

And both work fine in one of the slots, but not the other?

The SD/SDHC distinction is all software, so the hardware doesn't really
care.

No idea why this occurs. I'd guess some ACPI voodoo. You're going to
have to check with the PCI and/or ACPI guys to figure that part of the
mystery out.

Hmm... I thought you said that it was just the left reader that had
problems? Not both?

Perhaps, but I doubt it. If you rmmod sdhci-pci and modprobe it again
you should have the same behaviour as in .27.

Actually, I think you're just seeing the side effect that the
controller will revert back to the 25 MHz restriction.
