SDIO attach worked last year;  WiFi (cfg80211) wasn’t finished.  And I 
am not tired of hearing people ask for it.  You have all the right to do 
so.

I recently got a PCIe card (different bus attachment) but it should help 
to move forward on the WiFi parts as well.  Yes, it is a free time 
project at the moment but it also benefits from other ongoing WiFi work.


Two things which may help for the RPi/SDIO parts are:

- please try and use MMCCAM kernels and help, test, debug, report, .. 
all the things you find so (other people) can jump in as well so we can 
switch that on as default.  Without that, no SDIO.

- in case you are not only into RPi, the nanopi/rk33xx platforms with 
onboard SDIO WiFi need tiny little glue bits to turn the bits on;  would 
be great if someone could just do that.
