["Christopher M. Penalver" <christopher.m.penalver@xxxxxxxxx>]

StefanF, thank you for your comments. Regarding them:
>"Why should I test the latest mainline Kernel again?"

The upstream maintainer has requested this in
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1178131/comments/61
, with accompanying attachment.

>"I did that already more than 5 times after I reported the problem."

You testing this out is appreciated. However, the number of times one
tests is just one data point. What's most important is keeping your bug
report relevant in cadence with upstream releases, and providing the
information requested by upstream maintainers.

>"But I found no a single hint that the problem cause is found and
solved."

The upstream maintainer has previously explained that the reason the
cause isn't found is because of the missing information requested in
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1178131/comments/61
.

>"See Bug Bug #1067222."

Unfortunately, asking one to read some other person's Expired report,
would not terribly helpful here.

>"So testing again and again will not help anybody."

This would be inverted logic. Not performing the requested testing helps
to ensure your bug falls out of relevance with upstream.

>"Please ask me when some related code has been changed."

Please see above.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  14e4:16bc  [Acer Aspire One 756] SD card slot doesn't work

Status in The Linux Kernel:
  Unknown
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  My SD Card reader will not work without reloading the tg3 module. When I insert an SD card, dmesg output:
  [ 409.712345] mmc0: Timeout waiting for hardware interrupt.
  [ 419.722227] mmc0: Timeout waiting for hardware interrupt.
  [ 429.732104] mmc0: Timeout waiting for hardware interrupt.
  [ 439.742025] mmc0: Timeout waiting for hardware interrupt.
  [ 443.841471] mmc0: Card removed during transfer!
  [ 443.841477] mmc0: Resetting controller.

  The type of SD card does not matter and it does not matter if an
  ethernet cable is plugged.

  With Ubuntu 11.10, which works fine out of the box. Dmesg does not
  show any error or warning.

  10.04: Does not work even when reloading the tg3 module. Dmesg reports error -84 during SD card init.
  12.04 32-bit: Works when reloading the tg3 module. Otherwise timeout errors occur.
  13.04 32-bit: same as above with 12.04.
  12.04 with 3.10.0-rc1 mainline kernel: same as with 12.04.

  WORKAROUND: setpci -s 00:1c.2 0x50.B=0x40

  WORKAROUND: setpci -s 00:1c.2 0x50.B=0x41

  WORKAROUND: Perform at a terminal:
