[SOLVED] SD Card reader does not function (Realtek RTS5227)

Hello everyone,

SD Card reader does not function on my Toshiba Portege Z30 series notebook.

This issue happens on 4.4.19-1-lts and the latest kernel 4.7.2-1-ARCH.

lspci -nn | grep Card
01:00.0 Unassigned class [ff00]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTS5227 PCI Express Card Reader [10ec:5227] (rev 01)

I installed ccid and opensc and enabled & started pcscd.service but nothing changed.

Any suggestions, please?

Is it appropriate to file a bug report?

I noticed that SD Card Reader is actually functioning and SD Card was the source of the problem. I am marking this thread as solved.
