wl12xx: Switch to level trigger interrupts
The interrupt of the wl12xx is a level interrupt in nature, since the interrupt line is not auto-reset. However, since resetting the interrupt requires bus transactions, this cannot be done from an interrupt context. Thus, requesting a level interrupt would require to disable the irq and re-enable it after the HW is acknowledged. Since we now request a threaded irq, this can also be done by specifying the IRQF_ONESHOT flag. Triggering on an edge can be problematic in some platforms, if the sampling frequency is not sufficient for detecting very frequent interrupts. In case an interrupt is missed, the driver will hang as the interrupt line will stay high until it is acknowledged by the driver, which will never happen. Fix this by requesting a level triggered interrupt, with the IRQF_ONESHOT flag.
