RHEA-2016:0479 - Product Enhancement Advisory

Topic

New kmod-sdhci packages are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The kmod-sdhci packages contain the Secure Digital Host Controller
Interface (SDHCI) core driver kernel module. These packages add support for
the O2Micro card reader Id 8520.

The kernel modules delivered by this erratum have been made available as
part of the Red Hat Driver Update Program, which provides updated kernel
modules that add support for selected devices in advance of the next Red
Hat Enterprise Linux minor update release. We strongly recommend that
these kernel modules be only used when it is necessary to enable the
specific hardware mentioned in this erratum. Partners and customers
should continue to use the driver that is shipped in the latest Red Hat
Enterprise Linux kernel for all other devices that require this driver.
(BZ#1302115)

All users who require kmod-sdhci are advised to install these new packages.
