Have you restored the EEPROM contents after it got corrupted for the first
time?

Once the EEPROM contents get corrupted, the card will then be broken
forever even on kernel that gets this fixed one day.

This is pretty serious bug in fact, as it renders hardware of poor users
unusable, and just patching kernel is then not enough to put things back
to shape.
