Dave,

First, thanks for getting 2.6.17 ready for FC5.  It's really
appreciated.

So far this kernel has worked great, but the reason I'm interested in
this kernel is that it includes support for the following device (of
which I have one in my laptop)

03:01.2 Class 0805: Ricoh Co Ltd R5C822 SD/SDIO/MMC/MS/MSPro Host
Adapter (rev 17)

There's a couple of problems with the implementation of this device
which while they are not directly kernel related, I'm hoping you might
be able to suggest who to talk to.

Firstly, the new kernel now loads the following related modules:

sdhci                  15813  0
mmc_core               26049  1 sdhci

but doesn't load mmc_block which is also required when using these
devices.

Also, there seems to be some issues with suspend and resume.  As I
understand it, the suspend and resume scripts(???) need to unload and
load the modules (or something like this).

Who do I need to talk to about these issues.  I'm sure they are trivial
issues that won't be difficult to solve, but they do need to be
addresses so that these devices Just Work (TM).
