Right... I've done some further investigation.

Rooting around in the sources for a Mini Kernel vs the Tolino one suggests that the problem is down to either...

Board setup - It looks as though the Mini uses a different port on the SoC for the internal uSDHC to other readers from in i.MX507 family... SD3. This probably needs to be reflected in the board setup stuff? There are certainly some E50610 specific bits of init code that aren't in the Tolino sourcetree.

Code:

arch/arm/mach-mx5

My primitive attempts to merge across the obvious change unfortunately just seem to cause a page fault :-(

Probably stuck for the moment.
