The signalling was an issue because tuning was kicked off from an ioctl to the wifi device on the controller. FWIW, this issue was particular to the wifi driver (bcmdhd) and the android tree. It in part depends on the way the wifi driver is able to reset the sdio device via a routine that's not present in mainline: sdio_reset_comm. I believe the wifi driver would power on the wifi chip and trigger tuning in the aforementioned ioctl. Process that sent the ioctl was some network or wifi manager service on Android.
