[PATCH 8/8] rsxx: Adding in sync_start module paramenter.

From: Philip J. Kelleher
Date: Fri May 31 2013 - 20:36:51 EST


From: Philip J Kelleher <pjk1939@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Before the partition table would have to be reread because our
card was attached before it transistioned out of it's 'starting'
state.

This change will wait until the card has transitioned from it's
'starting' state before it will attach the device. This way there
is no need to manually reread the partition table.
