In case btmrvl_sdio is loaded, the driver always locks up in FUNC_INIT
upon probe time, thus I'm not able to proceed to further steps.

In case btmrvl_sdio is _not_ loaded, insmod returns, but driver locks up
waiting for FUNC_INIT to finish:

If I remove the FUNC_INIT call, wifi works fine, but bluetooth stops
working after a network scan:

[root@megalodon lkundrak]# iwlist scan >/dev/null 2>&1
[root@megalodon lkundrak]# hcitool scan --flush
Device is not available: No such device
[root@megalodon lkundrak]#
