There is a typo here : &pdev->dev should be &dev->dev.

Now given that fix, you can add my :
Tested-by: Robert Jarzmik <robert.jarzmik at free.fr>

This test of mine is rather cheap :
 - it relies on 4.0-rc4
 - I don't have any PCMCIA card to insert in the lubbock, hence the "cheap"
 - I judge that pcmcia is working because :
   - cat /proc/iomem gives:
     10000000-10001fff : sa1111
       10000400-100005ff : 0400
       10000800-100009ff : 0800
       10000a00-10000bff : 0a00
         10000a00-10000bff : sa1111-ps2
       10000c00-10000dff : 0c00
         10000c00-10000dff : sa1111-ps2
       10001600-100017ff : irq
       10001800-100019ff : 1800
         10001800-100019ff : sa1111-pcmcia
    - I don't see any error message in kernel log

As a side note mainly to myself, the pcmcia is broken on pxa2xx architectures
and panics the kernel at boot time because :
 - in drivers/pcmcia/sa1111_lubbock.c I see :
   pcmcia_lubbock_init()
     pxa2xx_configure_sockets(&sadev->dev);
       here it is expected that platform_data contains the pcmcia ops, but it's
       NULL, and the dereferencing in pxa2xx_configure_sockets() of ops->first
       panics.

Cheers.
