Though it is little over 80 characters, straightening it will be more readable.

I'm not sure if I read something wrong...

rtwsdio->irq_mask = REG_SDIO_HIMR_RX_REQUEST; // BIT(0)
RTW_SDIO_HISR_CLEAR_MASK // BIT(2-7, 17-24)

So, (rtwsdio->irq_mask & RTW_SDIO_HISR_CLEAR_MASK) == 0
Then, hisr &= 0 --> hisr = 0.

Which point is wrong to me?
