I have never heard from it again. Looking at the Android sources, I find that
the driver has been removed between Android 6.0-r0.5:
https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/msm/+/f06163e6d0b0c001ed79275cbe522d0b62ace3ed

The basic concept of the driver looks sane, so I think it makes sense to
start out with the code from Android 6.0-r0.4 and adapt it to your needs.
An alternative would be to build on the support we have in the MMC block
driver that allows sending commands to a card, but that is currently
limited to the block device interface.
