>>> Are you sure you are not having runtime PM enabled. That could be your problem as the host controller code disables sdio irqs. Please see this thread [1]. For our device runtime pm should not be enabled, but I am not sure if that is taken into account in mmc_attach_sdio() (see code below).

I run 3.16-rc4 and 3.16-rc5 kernel with CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME set, the issue still exists as follows:
1 step: modprobe brcmfmac
2 step: iwlist wlan1 scan get scanning result successfully.
3 step: wait a while, no any operation
4 step: iwlist wlan1 scan scanning timeout, can't get scanning result.
