[Bug 1346067] Re: [Dell Latitude E5440] O2 Card reader [1217:8520] is not stable on this system

 

Hi, Po-Hsu

Here is my analysis, the hardware disapears from kernel log and lspci
output, it has two possiable causes:

1, BIOS issue
2, kernel driver issue

I asked you to test 3.13.0-031300 kernel, which has no O2Micro
initialization codes, the result turns out the hardware won't disappear.
So I'm quite confident the root cause is in that O2Micro initialization
codes.

Will report this issue to vendor who has the datasheet.

Title:

  system

Status in HWE Next Project:

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  CID: 201307-14017 Dell Latitude E5440

  The O2 card reader, O2 Micro, Inc. SD/MMC Card Reader Controller [1217:8520] (rev 01)
  is not stable on this system, the card reader cannot be detected.
  It works normally after reboot, but will be gone if you reboot it one more time

  Steps:
  1. Install 14.04 + update (3.13.0-32), boot to desktop
  2. Run lspci -nn to see if the card reader is there
  3. Insert a SD card
  4. Reboot, go through step 2 and 3 again

  Expected result:
  * Card reader should be found in lspci output, SD card should be mounted automatically

  Actual result:
  * Nothing happened, the card was not detected at all
  * On step 4, the card reader works, if rebooted again, it will be gone.
