I will remove the old_len and old_data in the next version for the issue
because the error path for sdio_readsb seems wrong.

My initial purpose is that I would like to add a error path for these
packets which are successful at sdio_readsb but fail at packet format
parsing. I will update the error path for packet format error in
a separate patch.
