This is the base of "[PATCH] rtlwifi: rtl8188ee: enable MSI interrupts
support" in thread. We met this issue[1] while enabling some HP
notebooks, whose wifi hardware modules can't get AP scan results with
pin-based interrupts.

Submitting these two patches ahead of RealTek's schedule so we can fix
it sooner for non-preload distro users.
