Yep, picked it as well.

It all applied fine now on top of linux-next, with these warnings:

Applying: sdio_uart: Switch to the open/close helpers
/home/nico/kernels/linux-2.6/.git/rebase-apply/patch:90: trailing whitespace.
/home/nico/kernels/linux-2.6/.git/rebase-apply/patch:156: trailing whitespace.
/home/nico/kernels/linux-2.6/.git/rebase-apply/patch:260: trailing whitespace.
warning: 3 lines add whitespace errors.

Now... testing reveals that the very first patch "sdio_uart: use
tty_port" causes a segmentation fault in sdio_uart_open():

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000084
pgd = dfb44000 [00000084] *pgd=1fb99031, *pte=00000000, *ppte=00000000

This is fixed by this patch:

diff --git a/drivers/mmc/card/sdio_uart.c b/drivers/mmc/card/sdio_uart.c
index c2759db..671fe5e 100644

+ clear_bit(TTY_IO_ERROR, &tty->flags);

/* Kick the IRQ handler once while we're still holding the host lock */
sdio_uart_irq(port->func);
With this folded in, the card does work with the full series applied.
However the kernel is now crashing when the card is pulled out while
some process is reading from the device. This used to behave well
before. I don't have time to investigate that one right now though.
