Is this the same issue Hiroo MATSUMOTO was working on earlier?
(http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ports.ppc.embedded/50080)

We went round and round on those patches (partly my fault for
excessive bike-shedding), and then we stalled out because of an
ordering issue with CardBus init and an IRQ quirk.

Here's the last status I remember:
