Where in if_spi.c are you adding the msleep(1) and why?

For what it's worth, the Libertas SDIO driver worked quite well in
2.6.24 last time I used it and a diff between that and
wireless-testing shows very few changes (nothing that I'd consider
critical anyway).  There are a few minor fixes though.

Please turn on MMC debugging (CONFIG_MMC_DEBUG) and log what you see
from the MMC layer.  For example, this will show what it's setting the
block size too and how big of a buffer it's trying to transfer.  It
might be that your host controller driver isn't set up correctly for
certain sizes so it would be good to see what the MMC layer is trying
to do.
