Using in-band interrupt instead of the out of band one requires Supporting a feature called "Asynchronous interrupts in 4Bit mode" Which is part of SDIO 3.0 spec: https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/pls/pdf/index.php?p=PartE1_SDIO_Simplified_Specification_Ver3.00.jpg&f=PartE1_SDIO_Simplified_Specification_Ver3.00.pdf&e=EN_SSE1 Take a look at page 41 at the bottom part of the table. Wilink8 supports this feature but AFAIK this support is still not part of the mmc/sdio core in the Linux kernel. If we want wilink8 to trigger a host wakeup using the in-band interrupt instead Of the wlan_irq pin we would need to enable/use this feature. I did use it internally in the past and was able to patch the Ubuntu kernel (3.5.0 at that time) to use wilink8 in a standard SD Card slot of an Ubuntu Laptop while removing the use of wlan_irq pin completely. However this was an experimental patch set written by a third party that was not up-steamtable at that time. I do have this patch set somewhere... It is similar to the following patch which is not upstream as well for some reason: https://gitlab.com/k2wl/g2_kernel/commit/5c4970fdaa50422d7ea7220efa20fb35148a4bca It is not the only patch needed, there are a couple of additional patches needed for fully using it from driver. I did check latest Linux-next and don't see this support there. Not sure why.
