Since a recent merge of the wireless tree to Linus' master, my SDIO

Haven't done any bisect or deeper inspection of recent changes yet. Can
anyone point me in some direction maybe? The change must have been
introduced between -rc3 and -rc5. My userspace did not change since
then.

Normally a bisect is exactly what you would do.  In this case, there
is only this on libertas patch in the range you mention:

If you revert that, does your problem disappear?
