1-bit bus alone did not stop the sdio_write timeout wedge (recurred at ~5min uptime). Modem power save is the new prime suspect: the C6 napping mid-SDIO-transaction matches the minutes-scale periodicity. Always-powered appliance -> PS_NONE costs ~50mW and removes the entire failure class if correct. SDIO clock also halved to 10MHz. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
