I have recompiled the 5.15.16 kernel with these third-party
modules.

Forum member TerryH reported a mmc card reader not being recognised:

I tested the mmc card reader on my Lenovo PC, no problem. Then tried on my baby Acer Aspire laptop, and an SD card plugged into the mmc card reader wasn't recognised. I found that this driver is required:

TerryH reported the reader is recognised with the older 5.10.93 kernel. However, I cannot see any difference in mmc configuration that would account for it not working with the 5.15.16 kernel.
