Comment(by dsd):

 2 interrupts arrive at this time:

  1. PS_AWAKE event
  2. HS CFG command response

 This seems to meet expectations.

 I also confirmed that an interrupt storm is generated if the mwifiex
 interrupt handler gets called but does not read the "MP regs" that are
 read in mwifiex_interrupt_status(). Reading that register is needed to
 clear the interrupt. With the bogus surprise_removed check in place, that
 register read was not happening.

 While we seem to have fixed a real problem here, I am still left without a
 clear explanation of why the system hung. The interrupt storm would have
 slowed things down until the handler got disabled later, but shouldn't be
 directly responsible for a crash.
