Hi Tobin,

Nice. Firstly, that means the card is alive and survived the mailing.

I think building a vanilla 4.9 kernel is a good choice. I did test the
card with v4.9. I am quite (but not perfectly) sure, I also tested it
with v4.10.

The tests I did are described here:
http://elinux.org/Tests:SDIO-KS7010
The branch I used is mentioned there
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/wsa/linux.git/log/?h=renesas/topic/gen3-sdio
but it is based on a branch called renesas-drivers (which is some kind
of stripped down linux-next targeted for Renesas R-Car hardware), so I'd
think v4.9 is the better choice.
The tests were all done End of May 2016.

I'm definately interested. I might not be able to review patches, but
for high level questions like this, please CC me. However, give me a few
days for a response.

I use it rarely, but in this case, I'd think bisecting from v4.9 onwards
is a good choice to tackle this down (given that v4.9 works; otherwise
we'll have to check the MMC layer).
Thanks and all the best,
Wolfram
