Because Realtek PCIE card reader driver is a pcie driver, and it bridges mmc subsystem and memstick subsystem, it's not a mfd driver.
Greg and Lee Jones had a discuss about where to put the driver, the result is that misc is a good place for it, so I move all files to misc.
If I don't move it to a right place, I can't add any patch for new chip support.
