I think both firmware is fine. I was referring to the 
brcm/bcm4329-fullmac-4.txt It's a nvram file contains critical 
information used by firmware. And it's hardware dependent. We have 
submitted a patch to remove the one in Linux firmware repository to 
avoid confusion as it's for a Broadcom internal development board. It 
may not work with your set up. I think there should be a similar file 
comes with the proprietary driver package if you are using a module 
instead of a 4329 chip. Please use that one.

The issue you facing is more likely SDIO bus connection issue.
brcmf_sdioh_request_word: Failed to write word, Err: 0xffffffac
mmc1: Got data interrupt 0x00200000 even though no data operation was in 
progress.
These may be both caused by data CRC error/time out.
I don't have Exynos 4210 spec. But I guess for a such new chip the SDIO 
host should be able to run the bus at 50MHz. You could try to hack the 
MMC/SDIO host driver and reduce the max frequency to 25MHz or even 
further to 12MHz to see if any improvement.
