Following are the details of modification for iMX31.
1. Back port libertas from 2.6.24 to 2.6.22.
2. iMX31 BSP(2.6.22) have SDIO functionality which back port from 2.6.24 or ...
You can download the code from http://www.bitshrine.org/gpp/ or download newest BSP from freescale website.
3.  patch for if_sdio.c. The modification force the IO be multiple of block size.
