Hmm, I see things differently, but I may be biased ;-) Broadcom is a 
sizeable company with different business units. I was not even aware we 
were providing cardreaders. My focus is on wireless devices.

Option 2 is on our todo list, but other tasks (brcmfmac) have taken 
priority and still are.

I have no quick solution so need to more detailed info. For these kind 
of questions it always helps to provide kernel log and output from 
commands like lspci and lsusb.
