The installed firmware version is 9.70.3p24 (downloaded from the Marvell's website).

The uC is from Digi (NS9215) and its SDIO-port hasn't been validated by Marvell.

That's right. I only was surprised that the SD8686 accepts data blocks of 512 bytes in a
single transfer too. This is just nice for SDIO-ports that only support single blocks :)
(like the NS9215). Anyway, Pierre has informed me that the SD8686 has need of multiple
blocks support, and the NS9215 doesn't. So, the problem is the controller.
