When DMA was disabled before FW load, I observed frame receives before
->enable_radio, so looks like WPDMA_GLO_CFG register is overwritten by
F/W load. Although received frames did not make any damage, I prefer
not to allow hw to send data to driver, before driver will be really
ready to receive them.
