fine,

root at neo:~# echo s3c2440-sdi > /sys/bus/platform/drivers/s3c-sdi/unbind
root at neo:~# find /sys/bus/ -name '*sdi*'
/sys/bus/platform/devices/s3c2440-sdi
/sys/bus/platform/drivers/s3c-sdi
/sys/bus/sdio
/sys/bus/sdio/drivers/sdio_ar6000

now I see in "internet", "wireless lan" = "unavailable" and it's not
possible to start a wifi connection.

root at neo:~# echo s3c2440-sdi > /sys/bus/platform/drivers/s3c-sdi/bind
root at neo:~# find /sys/bus/ -name '*sdi*'
/sys/bus/platform/devices/s3c2440-sdi
/sys/bus/platform/drivers/s3c-sdi
/sys/bus/platform/drivers/s3c-sdi/s3c2440-sdi
/sys/bus/sdio
/sys/bus/sdio/drivers/sdio_ar6000

now I see wifi ok and it's functional (verified also with arora browser)

the strange thing (for me) is: why at boot time it's binded but does
not consumes the battery untill the first wifi connection? btw I've to
check if after that, a unbind/bind operation can fix this issue...
I'll tell you asap!
