Torvalds pulled in the char/misc changes this week for Linux 6.4 and
indeed those drivers are now removed. Meanwhile this pull introduced
the new AMD CDX subsystem...
Does that affect all PCMCIA cards or just specific to some controllers?

It looks to be specific PCMCIA cards, mostly smartcard readers.
