Since in the previous discussion you stated that we inhibit interrupts
and flush the workqueue so that mwifiex_shutdown_drv() can't run
simultaneously with the main processing routine, why do we need this?

Instead please remove call to mwifiex_shutdown_drv() in the main routine
and "if (adapter->mwifiex_processing)" check here.

Thanks.
