I have been in contact with others using AP6255-based SDIO WiFi with this driver. After the recent version of the driver
was released I didn't hear back from them so I assume WiFi is working fine for them.

The firmware image you use seems to be for Android. Not sure which firmware the others are using.
This might be a potential reason for the issue.

The log shows that first HW reports a failed write transfer (status 0x0100) and then an unexpected interrupt occurs (host->cmd being NULL).
Apart from the firmware the failed transfer might also be caused by e.g. a too high frequency.

Would be interesting to hear what's the latest kernel version (or even better: a bisect) working for you.

I'm using a Odroid-C2 where SDIO isn't available, so I'm not able to test.
