I have never heard from it again. Looking at the Android sources, I find that the driver has been removed between Android 6.0-r0.5: https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/msm/+/f06163e6d0b0c001ed79275cbe522d0b62ace3ed The basic concept of the driver looks sane, so I think it makes sense to start out with the code from Android 6.0-r0.4 and adapt it to your needs. An alternative would be to build on the support we have in the MMC block driver that allows sending commands to a card, but that is currently limited to the block device interface.
