Hi Ulf,

Thanks for your quick reply!

According to our WiFi team reply, the sdio-irq has two types. Sync interrupt and Async interrupt.
When WiFi send out the interrupt signal during the interrupt period, if it sync with clock pad(just as
when send out data), then this is sync interrupt. When this interrupt not sync with clock, it is async
interrupt. Async interrupt has a better overall performance than sync interrupt.

Logically, auto tuning circuit should only take care of the data and cmd line, and ignore interrupt signal.
But unfortunately current i.mx-usdhc IP do not ignore interrupt signal. So it detect the interrupt signal,
and take this signal as a data signal, and adjust the delay cell accordingly. For sync interrupt, due to it
sync with clock, so no affect, but for async interrupt, it will involve wrong delay cell change randomly.

I involve a new property here, because in sdhci.c, we default use this "cap-sdio-irq" for all sdio/sd/mmc.
I need one property which can use only for sdio device, and only when sdio device enable async-interrupt.
