If I understand the sdhost stuff, it looks like you should have gotten
sdcard registrations for each one of the devices here.  Instead, you got
some kind of generic "blkdev."

You've run to the end of my understanding of this code.  I wonder if
Shudong Zhou is around somewhere ...

It doesn't know what /dev *should* point to.  The driver is giving up no
information about the correct path, which means that it's not
recognizing this thing as a disk.

No, not since the (long, long ago) integration of the devicefs / devfs
projects.  Reconfiguration reboot (if it does anything at all) empties
the cache information and starts over, but the overall picture is the same.

It's not like the bad old days when there were real device nodes that
had to be removed and added by a daemon, which is why you see this:

% df /dev /devices
/dev               (/dev              ):       0 blocks        0 files
/devices           (/devices          ):       0 blocks        0 files

I'm with the other poster who suggested trying a different card reader.
 How much is your time worth to you?
