card reader falls off in linux

Question

I have debian 11 and a MicroSd card reader built into my laptop. Device: Realtek Semiconductor RTS5129 Card Reader Controller. The problem is that it falls off after I insert the card and take it out several times for no apparent reason. There are no errors in the log.
I have tried commands like this:

modprobe -r rtsx_usb_sdmmc rtsx_usb_ms rtsx_usb
modprobe rtsx_usb_sdmmc rtsx_usb_ms rtsx_usb

After that I see it in the log:

Mar 07 21:42:20 linux kernel: usbcore: registered new interface driver rtsx_usb
Mar 07 21:42:20 linux kernel: rtsx_usb_sdmmc: unknown parameter 'rtsx_usb_ms' ignored
Mar 07 21:42:20 linux kernel: rtsx_usb_sdmmc: unknown parameter 'rtsx_usb' ignored

I insert a memory card and Linux does not see it and in fdisk -l.
After restarting the computer, I can use the card again, help someone with what they can

Answer 1

Can't help you with the card reader. Sounds like a firmware failure, which the windows driver probably silently works around by secretly resetting the device firmware.

I can help you with your modprobe errors:

modprobe -r rtsx_usb_sdmmc rtsx_usb_ms rtsx_usb

works, because modprobe -r can take multiple module names on one command line. Look at man modprobe:

modprobe [-r] [-v] [-n] [-i] [modulename...]

But

modprobe rtsx_usb_sdmmc rtsx_usb_ms rtsx_usb

fails, because modprobe syntax is (again, from man modprobe):

modprobe [modulename] [module parameters...]

"rtsx_usb_ms" and "rtsx_usb" are interpreted as parameters to rtsx_usb_sdmmc.

Instead, do

modules="rtsx_usb_sdmmc rtsx_usb_ms rtsx_usb"
modprobe -r $modules
for mod in $modules ; do modprobe $mod ; done
