Got a new version of downstream driver and firmware here: https://gitlab.com/rk3588_linux/linux/external/rkwifibt/-/tree/linux-5.10-gen-rkr3.4

Thanks for that. The firmware indeed seems to originate from Synaptics and this module can be found on wifi-alliance product finder:

https://www.wi-fi.org/product-finder-results?sort_by=certified&sort_order=desc&keywords=ap6275

We have no known contacts there and they do not seem to have much interest in open-source. In that gitlab repo I see they are providing bcmdhd driver and I assume they consider that sufficient.

Will see what I can do. First have to think on how to approach this failure to get most out of a debug effort. I do not have the module over here so we would need to go back and forth. The fact that the issue is seen on both SDIO and PCIe is somewhat encouraging.

Yes it seems that at some point with some firmware, SDIO has worked for, eg, Angus. And, it should work well with bchdhd (but that does not seem to work for scan for me on v6.1-rc5 uplevel with the firmware load changed to use kernel apis; but the firmware has no timeout on bcmdhd). So it doesn't feel a million miles away.

I have the hw, and (paid) time to help with debugging this "pair of hands" style. I'm also a little familiar with the kernel code and can try jiggle things autonomously if you can prompt what is interesting.
