Added some debug prints to extract pcmcia device config base and it's
0x700. It matches the debug logs that read/write 0x397-0x399 for
SSB_PCMCIA_ADDRESS{0,1,2}. Actual pcmcia address will be (config_base +
offset) >> 1 and reads will always fail the bound check.

Digging deeper I found that config_base is a property of the card and
pulled by pcmcia_device_probe. So the problem is clear now -- the card
says the config base is at 0x700, resulting in ssb module accessing
addresses like (0x700 + SSB_PCMCIA_ADDRESS0) >> 1, but then fails the
CISTPL_MAX_CIS_SIZE (0x200) check. Commenting out the check result in
the wifi module working correctly.
