There is only one driver for SD cards, AFAIK: sdhci(4). Looking at the source
code in /usr/src/sys/dev/sdhci/sdhci_pci.c, there doesn't seem to be an entry
for your chip in the sdhci_devices array. So it is probably not supported.

There is a Linux driver for this chip, but it looks so different from sdhci that
I don't have a clue if it could be ported.
