Unfortunately I am aware of some issues with sdio modules and PDC mode
but I didn't have the time to correct it yet. I have done some fixes but
only for the DMA mode.

In fact I did some tests with Marvell 8686 and it works well but I have
recently heard about issues with other sdio wifi modules...

I will work on this topic as soon as possible.
