Thanks for that information - using that kernel branch I have had it all
working properly, on both an 8686 and 8688 Marvell SDIO device. These
are both external (plugged in).

I was hoping to do a git bisect to determine where the fault lay,
however it seems that the imx tree uses a completely different SDIO
driver. I have validated the Libertas driver on a different CPU (atmel)
from the same kernel, so I'm assuming at this stage that the fault lies
in the SDIO driver in the current Linux mainline.

Regards,
Andre
