wl12xx: Fix potential interrupt storm
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The interrupt threaded handler exits immediately if the driver's state
is WL1271_STATE_OFF. As a result, the interrupt status is not read. If
the interrupt is level triggered, it will be fired again.

Fix this by disabling interrupts before setting the state to OFF.
