You are correct. 

I check the kernel log again. It might try to read two times for a large packet.

First read is 1536 bytes, but it failed: 
  [ 4002.096664] rtw_8822cs mmc2:0001:1: Failed to read 1536 byte(s) from SDIO port 0x000000d1

Second read is less byte, and it succeed, but skb->data content is incorrect. Then, 
  [ 4002.100140] rtw_8822cs mmc2:0001:1: unused phy status page (3)
  [ 4002.105065] rtw_8822cs mmc2:0001:1: unused phy status page (2)
  [ 4002.110862] ------------[ cut here ]------------
  [ 4002.110868] Rate marked as a VHT rate but data is invalid: MCS: 0, NSS: 0

So, showing total size ('count' argument) might help to find the cause
or a workaround.
