How is it provided through sysfs?  Is this done in a standard way?  If
not, why not?

Why is this driver submitted to the staging tree?  What is keeping it
from going into the "real" portion of the kernel for other card readers?

We need a TODO file for what is needed to get it moved out of staging.

Oh, and it needs to do a bit more than just detect a card to be useful,
right?  How about read/write to it?

thanks,
