LiteX (https://github.com/enjoy-digital/litex) is a SoC framework
that targets FPGAs. LiteSDCard is a small footprint, configurable
SDCard core commonly used in LiteX designs.

The driver was first written in May 2020 and has been maintained
cooperatively by the LiteX community. Thanks to all contributors!

What would be the module name if built as a module?

litex_mmc.ko -- why are you asking? I.e., should I mention that anywhere
in the Kconfig blurb (I don't see other blurbs doing that, fwiw)?

Many (most?) blurbs do mention the module name.

I was doubting this as well, but I searched and its true.  The text 'module will
be called' shows up many times, there is also different text.

 $ grep -r 'module will be called' drivers/ | wc
   1347    9023   9086

 $ grep -r 'tristate \"' drivers/ | wc
   7169   47486  521795

So maybe >10% have module name in the blurb.  Example:

          To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
          module will be called tifm_sd.

Thanks,
