For the pandaboard using

for 4.5

CONFIG_WLAN_VENDOR_TI=y
CONFIG_WL12XX=m
CONFIG_WLCORE=m
CONFIG_WLCORE_SDIO=m
CONFIG_WILINK_PLATFORM_DATA=y

so I suspect it is something to do with modifications to wlcore,
wlcore_sdio, or wl12xx that have been applied.

Given there are similar problems with the SPI interface then it is
more likely to be problems in the wlcore modifications.

Shahar have these been tested on a pandaboard omap4 setup?

Regards,

Ross
