Keith - thanks for reminder.

The card reader device itself is non-critical and very low priority.

What perhaps is a little more worrisome is the change in rtsx somehow 
prevented nvme from functioning normally and the machine then not 
booting (at least for some combination(s) of hardware).

If there is a simple fix to prevent nvme from being impacted by the rtsx 
driver that would be more than sufficient?

On the other hand 6.4.11 is out, and I'm guessing there isn't a lot of 
noise on this either. From what I've seen, 1 other user with same 
problem [1] and 1 with same card reader not having a problema [2].
And no 'me-too's in the kernel bugzilla [3] either.
