We need to indicate that powering off the TI WiFi is safe, to avoid:

wl18xx_driver wl18xx.2.auto: Unbalanced pm_runtime_enable!
wl1271_sdio mmc0:0001:2: wl12xx_sdio_power_on: failed to get_sync(-13)

which prevents the WiFi being functional.

Shouldn't this have a Fixes tag so that it can be backported to stable kernels?

If I knew where the breakage happened and what commit was responsible
for it, then yes - but it used to work with earlier kernels (I don't
know which) and at some point it broke.

The suggestion for how to fix it came from Jon Nettleton.

Jon says:

"It was changes to the mmc power handling.  Basically telling the
controller that the card should be able to wake it up from a sleep
state.

"I think it has to do with the runtime PM addition.  This was added
to the TI driver in commit, 9b71578de08748defb3bcae3ce8ed1a75cb6a8d7
I don't know if that is what broke it, but that was the initial
integration.

"That was added after changes to the MMC layer were done I believe."

Jon thinks the idea for fixing it came from a post on one of the
mailing lists, but is unable to find it now.

So, I think the cause is now lost in the mists of time.
