Hi, we've got an Intel Cherry Trail-based system with Marvell SD8897 chip over MMC (sdhci), and WiFi / BT always fails at starting (or better to say, it never worked properly).
For avoiding the race between WiFi and BT, I blacklisted btmrvl_sdio, so let's concentrate only on mwifiex_sdio now. At the beginning of the driver loading, it looks fine: mwifiex_sdio mmc1:0001:1: info: FW download over, size 802164 bytes mwifiex_sdio mmc1:0001:1: WLAN FW is active mwifiex_sdio mmc1:0001:1: info: MWIFIEX VERSION: mwifiex 1.0 (15.68.7.p77) mwifiex_sdio mmc1:0001:1: driver_version = mwifiex 1.0 (15.68.7.p77) cfg80211: Regulatory domain changed to country: US .....

Looking through the web, some earlier bug reports (in year 2014) showed the similar problem, https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=76111 The bug entry remains opened, so I'm not sure about the situation of that bug. Also there are some other hits, but not quite sure whether it's the same issue. A few more things to be noted: - The timeout isn't always 0x107. Sometimes it gets 0xa9. - I already tried to set can_ext_scan=false, but it didn't help. - The symptom appears on all kernel version from 4.4 to 4.9. - Backporting the stuff in mwifiex from linux-next as of today didn't help, either. Does anyone have a hint for further debugging? Any suggestions appreciated. thanks, Takashi
