Since noone else has answered, ..

Access to the SD card is blocked in that situation by the omap_hsmmc kernel module, which seems weird being non-configurable. Luckily it's a software limitation and not a hardware one, so it can be fixed by replacing that module ..

I've got it to work in a newer kernel by modifying a single line in mmc/host/omap_hsmmc.c:
Code:
        int ret;
 
        if (gpio_is_valid(pdata->slots[0].switch_pin)) {
-               if (pdata->slots[0].cover)
+               if (0 && pdata->slots[0].cover)
                        pdata->slots[0].get_cover_state =
                                        omap_hsmmc_get_cover_state;
                else
If you or someone else can just rebuild the module for your kernel with that modification it'll probably work. I might try it later, since removing access to the SD card while the cover is off is annoying for me anyway.
