Mauro,
That patch has been suppressed by me @ the patchwork shortly after I submit it.
The ID tables (for USB and for SDIO) devices will remain in their corresponding
interfaces drivers.
The cards/targets will keep to be managed by board ID (sms-cards.h), no need to
further break the sms-cards to mini-modules, there is nothing to gain with that
architecture.
10x,
Uri
