ath9k: disable MIB interrupts to fix interrupt storm
Enabling the MIB interrupts has proven to cause an
interrupt storm after 7 hours of run. We will make use of the
MIB interrupt once we have ANI supported added so for now
to cure this we disable the interrupt.
The interrupt storm can be seen as follows after 7 hours of run
as reported by Steven Noonan <steven@uplinklabs.net>:
18:28:38 sum 1106.00
18:28:39 sum 1037.62
18:28:40 sum 1069.00
18:28:41 sum 1167.00
18:28:42 sum 1155.00
18:28:43 sum 1339.00
18:28:44 sum 18355.00
18:28:45 sum 17845.45
18:28:46 sum 15285.00
18:28:47 sum 17511.00
18:28:48 sum 17568.69
18:28:49 sum 17704.04
18:28:50 sum 18566.67
18:28:51 sum 18913.13
at 18:28:44 the MIB interrupt kicked off and caused huge
latency which can be seen even on a video he submitted:
