The merged workaround for the bug was only tested with bcmdhd and brcmfmac may require tweaking as the same issue exhibits on an Amlogic G12B device with BCM4356 chip. Testing the series with Amlogic GXM (older) and SM1 (newer) hardware to exclude the SoC bug shows everything working as expected.

Hi Christian,

Can you elaborate on the "known SDIO issue"? Is it an issue with ADMA or 
something else. I am asking because there is a workaround in brcmfmac to 
avoid scatter-gather lists, which may or may not address the issue.

Regards,
Arend
