Comment 5 for bug 1579748

Same problem here, I'm currently using 4.5.0-rc4-mainline with the Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTS5129 Card Reader Controller on Arch Linux.
The problem appears just on Linux, and I have fixed it a while ago, until I format my pc and installed Arch. Unfortunately I don't have the solution anymore (see http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/257033/rts5129-card-reader-with-ubuntu-15-10) since the user who has commented actually deleted his account.

This happens when I put on a class 10 micro sd card with an sdcard adapter in my Acer Aspire V17 Nitro
