In linux kernel since version 3 (release Date: 2011-07-21)
This selects support for Elan Digital Systems' VUB300 chip.
The VUB300 is a USB-SDIO Host Controller Interface chip
that enables the host computer to use SDIO/SD/MMC cards
via a USB 2.0 or USB 1.1 host.
The VUB300 chip will be found in both physically separate
USB to SDIO/SD/MMC adapters and embedded on some motherboards.
The VUB300 chip supports SD and MMC memory cards in addition
to single and multifunction SDIO cards.
Some SDIO cards will need a firmware file to be loaded and
sent to VUB300 chip in order to achieve better data throughput.
Download these "Offload Pseudocode" from Elan Digital Systems'
web-site http://www.elandigitalsystems.com/support/downloads.php
and put them in /lib/firmware. Note that without these additional
firmware files the VUB300 chip will still function, but not at
the best obtainable data rate.
To compile this mmc host controller driver as a module,
choose M here: the module will be called vub300.
If you have a computer with an embedded VUB300 chip
or if you intend connecting a USB adapter based on a
VUB300 chip say Y or M here.
