In commit 29f6589140a1 ("brcmfmac: disable command decode in
sdio_aos") we disabled something called "command decode in sdio_aos"
for a whole bunch of Broadcom SDIO WiFi parts.

After that patch landed I find that my kernel log on
rk3288-veyron-minnie and rk3288-veyron-speedy is filled with:
  brcmfmac: brcmf_sdio_bus_sleep: error while changing bus sleep

state -110

This seems to happen every time the Broadcom WiFi transitions out of
sleep mode.  Reverting the part of the commit that affects the

my boards fixes the problem for me, so that's what this patch does.

Note that, in general, the justification in the original commit

seemed

a little weak.  It looked like someone was testing on a SD card
controller that would sometimes die if there were CRC errors on the
bus.  This used to happen back in early days of dw_mmc (the

controller

on my boards), but we fixed it.  Disabling a feature on all boards
just because one SD card controller is broken seems bad.  ...so
instead of just this patch possibly the right thing to do is to fully
revert the original commit.

Since the commit 29f6589140a1 ("brcmfmac: disable command decode in
sdio_aos") causes the regression on other SD card controller, it is
better to revert it as you mentioned.
Actually, without the commit, we hit MMC timeout(-110) and hanged
instead of CRC error in our test.

Any chance I can convince you to provide some official tags like
Reviewed-by or Tested-by on the revert?

Would you please share the analysis of
dw_mmc issue which you fixed? We'd like to compare whether we got the
same issue.

I'm not sure there's any single magic commit I can point to.  When I
started working on dw_mmc it was terrible at handling error cases and
would often crash / hang / stop all future communication upon certain
classes or efforts.  There were dozens of problems we've had to fix
over the years.  These problems showed up when we started supporting
HS200 / UHS since the tuning phase really stress the error handling of
the host controller.

I searched and by the time we were supporting Broadcom SDIO cards the
error handling was already pretty good.  ...but if we hadn't already
made the error handling more robust for UHS tuning then we would have
definitely hit these types of problems.  The only problem I remember
having to solve in dw_mmc that was unique to Broadcom was commit
0bdbd0e88cf6 ("mmc: dw_mmc: Don't start commands while busy").  Any
chance that could be what you're hitting?

That is indeed an issue I recall resulting in -110 errors.

What host controller are you having problems with?

Knowing that will be a good start.
