I suppose I wasn't entirely clear there. I'd like you to do the first part (remove the card.c part), but not apply this second patch. I just sent that in as a means of getting the ball rolling again.
The reason I'm pushing this issue is that Red Hat decided to drop all magical scripts that figured out what modules to load and instead only use the modalias attribute. They consider the right way to go is to get the PNP layer to export modalias, so that's what I'm trying to do.
