I'm using the one from repository now, yes.

Using the firmware I had from before, the only difference I see is the
time of when
the IRQ handler is called, but that is probably just randomness, I guess?

I think both firmware is fine. I was referring to the brcm/bcm4329-fullmac-4.txt It's a nvram file contains critical information used by firmware. And it's hardware dependent. We have submitted a patch to remove the one in Linux firmware repository to avoid confusion as it's for a Broadcom internal development board. It may not work with your set up. I think there should be a similar file comes with the proprietary driver package if you are using a module instead of a 4329 chip. Please use that one.


Attached is the log when modprobing with old firmware.


The issue you facing is more likely SDIO bus connection issue.
brcmf_sdioh_request_word: Failed to write word, Err: 0xffffffac
mmc1: Got data interrupt 0x00200000 even though no data operation was in progress.
These may be both caused by data CRC error/time out.
I don't have Exynos 4210 spec. But I guess for a such new chip the SDIO host should be able to run the bus at 50MHz. You could try to hack the MMC/SDIO host driver and reduce the max frequency to 25MHz or even further to 12MHz to see if any improvement.
