Subject: [PATCH] brcmfmac: prevent watchdog from interfering with scanning and connecting

Watchdog in brcmfmac driver may make WiFi chip enter sleep mode
before completion of scanning or connecting.

This will lead to scanning or connecting failure.

Increasing temporarily idle-time threshold during scanning or
connecting can ensure scanning or connecting success without
watchdog interference.

Are you sure you are not having runtime PM enabled. That could be your problem as the host controller code disables sdio irqs. Please see this thread [1]. For our device runtime pm should not be enabled, but I am not sure if that is taken into account in mmc_attach_sdio() (see code below).

/*

*/
err = pm_runtime_set_active(&card->dev);
if (err)
goto remove;

/*
* Enable runtime PM for this card
*/
pm_runtime_enable(&card->dev);
}
