Support for NetXtreme BCM57765 Memory Card Reader?

Support for NetXtreme BCM57765 Memory Card Reader?

[René Köcher]

The card reader mentioned in the subject is part of the Broadcom
NetXtreme BCM57765 chip which provides a card reader as well as a
network interface[¹].

It is recognized by the sdhci-pci driver however it won't read any card
(tested with different SD, SDHC, SDXC cards).

I'm not sure if it is recognized by its advertised features or if it's
really supported (unlikely).

I expect there's not much we can do without access to the hardware, but
could you post dmesg output with CONFIG_MMC_DEBUG=y?

Thanks,

I created a pastebin: http://pastebin.com/pP1ZmqDL showing the 
requested logs.

In addition I had a talk with a nice gui with broadcom-knowledge™.
It looks like this card has an additional (private) mmio-block above the
normal 0x100 bytes in the PCI bar.
