The MMC subsystem changes that were rejected by Linus Torvalds during the Linux 7.0 merge window — dismissed as 'complete garbage' for failing to build and lacking linux-next vetting — have now been successfully merged into Linux 7.1. The changes include new IDs for NXP WiFi chips over SDIO, MMC manufacturing data support beyond 2025, optimized secure erase/trim for Kingston eMMCs (reducing a 1GB secure erase from ~10 minutes to ~2 seconds), expanded Qualcomm hardware support in SDHCI-MSM, and support for ASpeed AST2700 and K3 platforms.
