Hi Franky and Arend, today I could get a SDIO Wifi module, which includes a BCM43455. I was able to get this up and running without any issues with the brcmfmac driver and a 4.19 kernel. For me that's enough evidence to say that the SDIO driver works.
However, the BCM4359 still does not work. It times out in brcmf_sdio_firmware_callback(), while enabling func2. I've inserted tons of debug log outputs in both, the DHD driver and the brcmfmac driver, and compared them. Differences which I've found so far are: a) brcmfmac strips out whitespaces from nvram contents and b) DHD downloads firmware first and brcmfmac downloads nvram first. I've adapted the DHD driver to behave like brcmfmac in both cases and it still works. I've increased the timeout for enabling func2 from 3 seconds to 10 seconds, but that did not help. Any ideas left?
