No. I'm talking about a certain WinBond controller for SD and MMC cards.

Yes, I understand. I've written an SD driver for Solaris/SPARC
(Winbond). It is supported on Tadpole hardware. The chip is connected
to the system via ebus (which is another name for ISA on SPARC. :-)
No, that driver will never be part of OpenSolaris. At the time I wrote
it, all of the interfaces from Winbond and the SDcard trade association
were all very proprietary, and required all sorts of NDAs.

Are you sure its PCI connected? Check the prtconf output to be sure.
(As I already said, I know some laptops ... including Tadpoles! ... use
ISA rather than PCI.)
Although there is now a standard class driver for these things, so
recent laptops probably do have PCI-connected devices.
