Seems to me > little bit outdated ;) The sources from the link you pasted make it appear that the APM card is a rebranded Marvell SD8686 with PXA SDHC bus drivers. There's already a driver for the SD8686 which probably works with this part, although we may need to add the vendor ID for the APM6270. For the SDIO bus drivers, we'd need to see if the existing upstream bus drivers already work for this hardware, and if not, the ones from that package would then need to be ported. I don't see a PXA270m SDIO driver in the upstream tree, but there's a lot of support for the S3C2440 including an MMC driver which is a prerequisite for SD support. I'm not sure if the s3cmci MMC driver supports SDIO though. Dan
