I have the same problem since I had my first Linux Mint 16 and now turned into Linux Mint 17 (Qiana - 32bit) the problem is still there (Ubuntu 14.04 i believe). Below, is my workaround which may benefit others too.

I have experimented a bit with the User Interface, more specifically the Control Center - Disks (menu in the Mate). There, is a Power Off menu choice of the Realtek Mass Storage device (ie. by pci builtin Card reader, usually empty).
And voila - the kernel messages stopped ! :-)
It would be nice if one could power down specific ones, by will.
I have found some solutions (not working for me) mostly like tweaking files in the Drivers settings (/sys/bus/usb/devices path).
These were more or less Linux version dependent, and did not work for me.

Instead, I carried on experimenting, and using the same Control Center - Disks I found a small button to edit Mount options which opened the dialog as I have attached a screenshot of.
If I in there specifically said 'Automatic Mount Options' to OFF, then I permanently seems to avoid the kernel messaged flooding the system log.
So I stay with this workaround, until further.
