Subject: wlcore: wl18xx: Trouble suspending caused by wifi being enabled?

Hey Folks,
  So, for awhile recently, I've noticed my HiKey board (which uses the
TI WL1835MOD chip for wifi) has had trouble when it tries to suspend.
Basically it keeps on waking up while suspending, and then
re-suspending over and over until it lucks out in whatever race is
going on and manages to suspend before the wifi wakes it up.

Here's an example suspend-immediate-wake cycle:

Eventually it will luck out and manage to suspend itself, but it can
take close to a minute.  If I disable wifi the system reliably
suspends every time.

This used to not be the case, but its been so long, I'm not really
sure when this issue cropped up.

I wanted to see if anyone else had similar trouble or maybe had ideas
how to chase this down?

thanks
