Working MicroSD on A780 and more source code from Motorola

As the title indicates, this weekend was full of OpenEZX hacking.

Christian Daniel and Thomas Kleffel from maintech.de jumped in and prepared a patch to get the MicroSD reader working on the A780. You need to apply it on top of the patchset from Harald.

With this patch i was able to use my ext3 formatted card as rootfs. Using a small busybox seems to work fine, but i'm not able to use it. I still don't have a serial console on this phone. So i have to wait until Haralld release his usbnet patches.

After Jonathon Wilson has had some more communication with Motorola there will be some more code released. I triggered Motorola again and they send me the mmc driver. So we can compare it with the stuff we have running and perhaps fix some things. They also promised me to send a cd with more code within this or the next week.

So, yes this was a very busy weekend, but it was also big fun. :)
