Since the commit 29f6589140a1 ("brcmfmac: disable command decode in 
sdio_aos") causes the regression on other SD card controller, it is 
better to revert it as you mentioned.
Actually, without the commit, we hit MMC timeout(-110) and hanged 
instead of CRC error in our test. Would you please share the analysis of 
dw_mmc issue which you fixed? We'd like to compare whether we got the 
same issue.
