It can't work this way.
mmc is the bus support and mmcsd is the support for SD memory cards.
You still need a driver for the controller itself, such as the at91_mci
driver for AT91RM9200 controller, for which everything works fine.
This is similar to SCSI, where you need scbus and sd, but also a driver
for the bus controller, such as ahc, sym, etc...
That said - even if you have this driver for your controller this is
only for SD cards so far, not MMC cards, which are quite similar to SD
and of course not memory stick or any other of the large number of
flash card types.
