At the moment, we haven't really seen any interest in 64-bit support with sdio
(almost all actual usage is 32-bit ARM as far as I can tell), but it will
definitely get more relevant when we add USB support to brcmfmac.  We'll work
on getting it up and running, but any help would be appreciated.

Is it safe to assume the related modules (mmc.ko, etc) work on 64-bit?
