The Ricoh SD card reader on my laptop works fine with the sdhci driver.
The only oddity is that the mmc-block driver doesn't have sysfs support,
so udev doesn't create the device nodes. As far as I can tell, Ricoh
doesn't release programming specs, but they seem to make devices that
don't need vendor-specific drivers when possible. So we don't find out
about their errata, but they may well never actually notice the quirks in
the first place.
