In my understanding, 'terminated_handle' is used to know the
status when interface is getting deinit(). During deinitialization
of an interface if any async event received for the interface(from
firmware) should be ignored.

In my opinion its not right to only wait for the mutex in any of
callback e.g wilc_scan_complete_received() because it will delay the
handling of callback and try to process the event once lock is
available for the interface which is already de-initialized.

Based on my understand 'mutex' alone is not enough to
handle this and we some extra check to know if interface is down.I will
check more about this patch how to handle the extra scenario for this
case.
Please suggest if someone has better idea on how to handle this.
