[Bug 202490] Re: [Feature Request] Provide a driver for Ricoh R5C822 xD card reader

@Maxim.
Both r852 and sml_ftl are present (i see them in lsmod).
Nevertheless, /dev/smblka you mentioned does not exist.

@Jerone.
I did that, no effect.

Pentahedron - A polyhedron having five faces. Because there are two
pentahedral graphs, there are two convex pentahedra, namely the square
pyramid and the triangular prism. The triangular prism is the unique
convex pentahedra having unit edge lengths.
