[PATCH] ARM: dts: sun7i: Disable OOB IRQ for brcm wifi on Cubietruck and Banana Pro

[Hans de Goede <hdegoede@redhat.com>]

While doing some brcmfmac driver work I needed to test this also on some
devicetree based boards. So I fired up the good old Cubietruck and when
that would not work a Banana Pro.

With an unmodified 4.17 kernel both boards intermittently would come up
with non working wifi with the following errors:

 brcmfmac: brcmf_sdio_bus_rxctl: resumed on timeout
 brcmfmac: brcmf_bus_started: failed: -110
 brcmfmac: brcmf_attach: dongle is not responding: err=-110
 brcmfmac: brcmf_sdio_firmware_callback: brcmf_attach failed

They would come up this way more often then with actual working wifi,
once this problem happens it seems to require a power-cycle to fix.
Once things work one can safely reboot without hitting the issue.

I've found that disabling OOB interrupts fixes this. This really is more
of a workaround then a proper fix, but it makes the wifi reliable again
and it does not have much of a downside.

Using an OOB IRQ instead of the sdio-IRQ mechanism is mostly important to
allow the MMC controller to go into runtime-suspend which is not really an
issue on these boards since they are (usually) not battery powered.

I've looked at recent brcmfmac and mmc-core changes which may explain this
and I've not found anything. So the most likely culprit is the A20 external
interrupt handling e.g. perhaps it is set to edge instead of level? Either
way I do not have time to further investigate this.
