This leads to the firmware wakeup timeout expiring and the driver resetting the card because we assume the firmware has hung up or crashed (unfortunately that's not unlikely with this card). Turns out that most of the time the firmware actually didn't hang up, but simply "missed" our wakeup request and didn't send us an AWAKE event. Trying again to read the firmware status register after a short timeout usually makes the firmware wake up as expected, so add a small retry loop to mwifiex_pm_wakeup_card() that looks at the interrupt status to check whether the card woke up. The number of tries and timeout lengths for this were determined experimentally: The firmware usually takes about 500 us to wake up after we attempt to read the status register. In some cases where the firmware is very busy (for example while doing a bluetooth scan) it might even miss our requests for multiple milliseconds, which is why after 15 tries the waiting time gets increased to 10 ms. The maximum number of tries it took to wake the firmware when testing this was around 20, so a maximum number of 50 tries should give us plenty of safety margin. A good reproducer for this issue is letting the firmware sleep and wake up in very short intervals, for example by pinging a device on the network every 0.1 seconds.
