You're being rather impatient.  I haven't had a chance to look into this
at all yet.  Not everyone lives in your time zone.

It is known that the Linux PCMCIA subsystem does not support changing the
Vcc supplied to the card after the card has been initially powered up.  To
do so requires the card to first be powered down and then re-powered with
the new Vcc.

It would also appear that some PCMCIA cards report (via the hardware) that
they're 3.3V cards, but then in the CIS indicate they're 5V cards - in
other words, the usual good old quality you come to expect.

That said, commenting out that check is almost certainly wrong.  You need
to forcing req->Vcc to be the same as s->socket to ensure that we don't do
something Bad(tm).

I'd suggest finding this message (its in arch/arm/kernel/*.c somewhere) and
adding a __backtrace() immediately after its printk.
