The fact that you don't check the return value here seems like a
problem.  See specifically how commit cdb2256f795e ("mwifiex: Re-work
support for SDIO HW reset") handles it.

This is a distinct difference between the solution that we landed in
Chrome OS 4.19 and what landed upstream.  In Chrome OS 4.19 we went
the simple approach and said that there was only one way to reset the
card: treat it as a full unplug / replug of the card.  ...but upstream
adopted a different solution.  For upstream if there is only a single
function on the SD card it will not trigger a full unplug/replug and
it's up to the function driver to re-init itself.  This wasn't such a
big deal for the WiFi driver since it already had a way to re-init
itself (mwifiex_reinit_sw).  I don't know how hard it will be for
Bluetooth, but that needs to be part of this patch I think?
