[PATCH] mmc: rtsx_pci_sdmmc: ignore broken write-protect on ThinkPad X260

From: Florian Maillard

Date: Mon Aug 24 2026 - 02:58:43 EST


The Realtek RTS522A card reader in the Lenovo ThinkPad X260
(subsystem 17aa:504a) incorrectly reports inserted SD cards as
write-protected.

This causes the MMC core to expose the card as read-only:

mmcblk0: mmc0:aaaa SN256 238 GiB (ro)

and /sys/block/mmcblk0/ro reports 1.

Setting MMC_CAP2_NO_WRITE_PROTECT makes the card writable again.
Limit the quirk to the affected Lenovo subsystem.
