Kext SD Card Reader development

[jcodesmith]

I have a Lenovo T480 with just about everything working, with the exception of the USB Based SD Card reader. This appears to be a Realtek VID: 0BDA/0316. I believe there is no current driver for this device. If there is, can someone please point me where I can download an existing kext?

Assuming it does need to be developed, I'd like to work on it. Can someone point me in the direction of the Linux source code ( I believe it works for Linux) or specifications for this SD Card reader? Also can you let me know if the community does have working OSX source code for another SD card reader I can use a base to get started? I've done C programming and some microcontroller development so I'm not a total newbie but any pointers would be appreciated.

Thanks for your assistance.
