I'm encountering a similar issue. It's a Summit SDC-CF10G CompactFlash
WiFi card. (http://url6924.yatao.info/ls/click?upn=ZzU3A6Y3aWFtn4aD2u-2FBwbEq46EcTw8hKN7GGRjFv-2F1WUxFrRaacpRjX-2BppM38Z1RZWTFfXewuYqW8Nnv564nw-3D-3DR6DP_6pwKHJ8Ph1XTyv7ONZlOBOinZyu77Ix3HWUiu18xV0L3uSyMV6rU6SMAhQ33IJM2wJd2p1qgFX70jtzxE78Bic9U9VM4uaHAGq8Y2z4nXzsBrnCA-2BEJxidxXoTjqSX5JhPdGPz27iBdsFlHRMb6oNfEWDfNzT6lxlDURcfl5OoAzrBro2PfB7LyxzBrY2q3DanhP8kUyZ8w6n8cOIP9lLaudyfzwvgAIpY9R5yIIG-2FE-3D
`pccardctl info` gives:
```
PRODID_1="SummitDC"
PRODID_2="802.11g SC CF"
PRODID_3="4.0"
PRODID_4=""
MANFID=02d0,0448
FUNCID=6
```
MANFID matches lookup table in the code.
The host is a Sharp SL-C3100 running Linux alarm 5.4.193, bridging from
`pxa2xx-pcmcia`.

I did some simple manual tracing, and the problem happens early:
```
ssb_host_pcmcia_probe (Initialization failed res=0,err=-EBUSY)
  `->...(res=0)
  `->ssb_bus_pcmciabus_register (err=-EBUSY)
    `->ssb_bus_register
      `->ssb_bus_scan
        `->ssb_pcmcia_switch_coreidx (matching errmsg)
          `->ssb_pcmcia_cfg_write (maybe)
          `->ssb_pcmcia_cfg_read (maybe)
```

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Quick update:
`echo -n 'file cistpl.c +p' > <debug_fs>/dynamic_debug/control`, then
`dmesg`. This kernel is configured with very small kmsg buffer... I
could only capture the last portion of the commands:

```
pcmcia_read_cis_mem(1, 0xe3, 2)
  0x80 0x09 0x00 0x00 ...
pcmcia_read_cis_mem(1, 0xee, 2)
  0xff 0xff 0x00 0x00 ...
pcmcia_read_cis_mem(0, 0x0, 5)
  0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 ...
pcmcia_read_cis_mem(0, 0x0, 5)
  0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 ...
pcmcia 0.0: pcmcia: registering new device pcmcia0.0 (IRQ: 217)
pcmcia_read_cis_mem(1, 0x4d, 2)

pcmcia_read_cis_mem(1, 0x12, 30)
  0x08 0x00 0x53 0x75 ...
pcmcia_read_cis_mem(1, 0xb1, 5)
  0x01 0x01 0x00 0x07 ...

pcmcia_write_cis_mem(1, 0x380, 1)

pcmcia_write_cis_mem(1, 0x381, 1)
pcmcia_write_cis_mem(1, 0x397, 1)
pcmcia_write_cis_mem(1, 0x398, 1)
pcmcia_write_cis_mem(1, 0x399, 1)
pcmcia_read_cis_mem(1, 0x397, 1)
!! attempt to read CIS mem at addr 0x397 (CISTPL_MAX_CIS_SIZE is 0x200)
  return -1;
```

Not knowing what's what here, at least I see there's some inconsistency.
- write is okay but read fails on bound check
- the ssb offsets are u8 and values like 0x397 are (pcmcia base + offset), 
  but the bound check is not aware of the base address, right?

Added some debug prints to extract pcmcia device config base and it's
0x700. It matches the debug logs that read/write 0x397-0x399 for
SSB_PCMCIA_ADDRESS{0,1,2}. Actual pcmcia address will be (config_base +
offset) >> 1 and reads will always fail the bound check.

Digging deeper I found that config_base is a property of the card and
pulled by pcmcia_device_probe. So the problem is clear now -- the card
says the config base is at 0x700, resulting in ssb module accessing
addresses like (0x700 + SSB_PCMCIA_ADDRESS0) >> 1, but then fails the
CISTPL_MAX_CIS_SIZE (0x200) check. Commenting out the check result in
the wifi module working correctly.

That combination of outputs and the -EBUSY (-16) error means that the driver was 
unable to read or write a configuration variable at SSB_PCMCIA_ADDRESSX, where X 
is 0, 1, or 2.

There is a possibility that your card is broken. Please post the portion of the 
output of the command 'sudo lspci -nn -xxx' that describes the b43 device.
