>>>> Are you sure you are not having runtime PM enabled. That could be your problem as the host controller code disables sdio irqs. Please see this thread [1]. For our device runtime pm should not be enabled, but I am not sure if that is taken into account in mmc_attach_sdio() (see code below).
>>> I have tried brcmfmac driver with "CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME is not set", and scanning and connecting  always succeeded. This means that CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME should not be set if we use SDIO WiFi device driven by brcmfmac driver, right?
>> Depends which kernel you are using. In 3.16-rc1 the sdio interrupt issue has been fixed so you should be fine to use CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME. Here is the commit
Any clues or comments to the following issue?
