I'll add these IS_ALIGNED in v4
Also I found an issue with RTW_WCPU_11N devices where indirect read
works differently (those can't use
REG_SDIO_INDIRECT_REG_CFG/REG_SDIO_INDIRECT_REG_DATA but need to go
through the normal path with WLAN_IOREG_OFFSET instead). I'll also
include that fix in v4

I tried with 1 second and 10 second delays here and could not find any problems.
That said, I am still going to swap the order because a) it seems to
be what most drivers do (ath9k for example) and b) SDIO is a slow bus
and especially slow on my Amlogic SM1 SoC which has some SDIO DMA
errata.
Also testing this made me find another bug during module unregister (I
thought I caught all of them by now) and will include this fix in v4
as well.


As always: thank you for all your inputs!

Best regards,
Martin
