Here's a simple udev rule that will do what you want:

SUBSYSTEM=="tifm", ACTION=="add", TIFM_CARD_TYPE=="SD", RUN+="/sbin/modprobe tifm_sd"

(just stick it somewhere in the udev rules).

You shall take into consideration that mmc currently lacks uevent support, so mmc_block must be
loaded manually (this is a long pending todo thingy; supposedly it waits for the first sdio
driver). There's no direct dependency of tifm_sd on mmc_block (only on mmc_core).

May be I'll add a modalias entry later so the explicit rule will not be needed.

As a side note: I have some very good reasons for the current driver architecture. You may want to
look them up in the mail archive (I outlined them during the initial driver submission).
