When the interface is brought up the wlan_renable gpio comes up (enabled) and turning the wl18xx device on.
It might be that what happens here is that the chip is not yet enabled when the first sdio command is started causing a timeout.
There is normally a delay associated with the fixed voltage regulator that is tied to this gpio and used for disable/enable (startup-delay-us).
Similar to this:
/ {
model = "TI AM335x BeagleBone Black Wireless";
compatible = "ti,am335x-bone-black-wireless", "ti,am335x-bone-black", "ti,am335x-bone", "ti,am33xx";
wlan_en_reg: fixedregulator@2 {
...
...
startup-delay-us= <70000>;
/* WL_EN */
gpio = <&gpio3 9 0>;
enable-active-high;
};
};
Perhaps, as a debug step, try to add a delay in "wl12xx_sdio_power_on":
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/net/wireless/ti/wlcore/sdio.c
and see if it makes a change?
