Potential bug report for Realtek MicroSD Card Reader



Hey Team!

I'm new to Debian and running the latest Debian 12.10 with updates. I'm having an issue with my MicroSD card reader and I'm not sure how to proceed.


My hardware is identified in lspci as

0000:31:00.0 Unassigned class [ff00]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTS525A PCI Express Card Reader (rev 01)


Running 'sudo dmesg | grep mmc' shows

Running 'dpkg -l | grep linux-image' shows

This issue is apparently not new: https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=343567. Here, word on the street is that the issue was apparently fixed in some fabled upstream update in the kernel, but it still appears to be a persistent issue on my hardware on kernel 6.1.0-33-amd64.


I can confirm the SD Card is working on Windows 11 so I don't believe this is a bad device.


I'd appreciate any advice handling this or assistance in filing the appropriate report with the appropriate team.

Thanks and best,

-Brandan Ballantyne
