I think it is only for USB devices that the function can be called in
"interrupt" context. PCIe devices call it from thread context for sure.
The function brcmf_netif_rx() is (in)directly called by brcmf_rx_frame(),
which is used by SDIO and USB. Anyway, it will be a bit more work, but
doable. Let me see what I can come up with.
