5229 no more works

09:00.0 Unassigned class [ff00]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTS5229 PCI Express Card Reader (rev 01)

I was getting errors about missing files when updating Manjaro on Thinkpad T440.

The last commit added wrong source variable in the .SRCINFO and PKGBUILD files.

PKGBUILD file:

source=("rts5229::git+https://github.com/Zibri/Realtek-rts5229-linux-driver" <<---wrong source=("rts5229::git+https://github.com/Zibri/Realtek-rts5229-linux-driver.git" <<---repaired

.SRCINFO file:

source = rts5229::git+https://github.com/Zibri/Realtek-rts5229-linux-driver <<---wrong source = rts5229::git+https://github.com/Zibri/Realtek-rts5229-linux-driver.git <<---repaired

I changed these lines and installed the package with no problems.

Can't install under manjaro. Builds ok but during installation I get this error message:

==> Unable to install module rts5227/1.07 for kernel 4.19.31-rt18-MANJARO: Missing kernel modules tree.

I can't find anything online about a "kernel modules tree" (Sorry, I'm very ignorant of how the kernel works).

The driver compiled after uncommenting

// #define SG_END 0x02

At line 319 of rtsx_chip.h

There seems to be a conflict with SG_END variable... Might have a fix here: https://gitlab.ic.unicamp.br/lkcamp/linux-staging/commit/b5d013bc09e9e76df9cdc85c2598486ba9a5b9b6

Won't build on Manjaro... Here's the make.log file:

# Blacklist rtsx_pci

The driver works fine for me on 4.20.12. There is just one small issue as it seems like the device is not detected (not showing in lspci) after after a warm reboot (shutdown -r). However if I shutdown -h and then restart it works.

You may need to append

install rtsx_pci /bin/false

in your blacklist.conf.

By the way, the patch is redundant in RTS5229, I use https://github.com/kmahyyg/rts5229-dkms , It works fine on 4.20.3

Also blacklisting rtsx_pci seems to stop at least 2 other modules from loading (rtsx_pci, rtsx_pci_ms, rtsx_pci_sdmmc), these are all replaced by rts5227?
