(*) After quick investigation i have found a note related to Texas Instruments SD MMC pci controller. The one is quite old but remains actual for TI [and SuSE?]
for pci device:
# lspci -s 6.2
02:06.2 Mass storage controller: Texas Instruments 5-in-1 Multimedia Card Reader (SD/MMC/MS/MS PRO/xD)
the command (now it is incorporated into /etc/init.d/boot.local)
# setpci -s 6.2 4c=0x22
MMC controller works pretty good
