Any hint on what's wrong here?

Note firmware was successfully loaded on probe a bit earlier.
And here I used a firmware blob from linux-firmware git repo,
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/tree/rsi_91x.fw

Hm, that's interesting why stuff used to work before that patch series.
At least as you might see from above I got much further with vanilla 4.11 
kernel.

BTW where may I find new firmware blob which is mentioned in on of the patches 
("rs9113_wlan_qspi.rps")?

Ok, will do. But please add me in Cc list in your upcoming patches as I'm very 
interested
in getting Redpine module working on our new board and will be happy to review 
them as well as test on
my platform.

BTW I'm wondering what platform you use for development as a host?
I'm wondering if the reason for my failure mentioned above might be in different
host CPU architecture or SD-card controller vendor or settings.
