Unfortunately I can't confirm that the referenced bug is in the
silicon for the original commit either.
However a similar workaround works in this case too which is why I
referenced that commit.

After talking to the manufacturer, we got the following explanation
for this situation:
"wifi may have dat1 interrupt coming in, without this the dat1
interrupt would be missed"
Supposedly this is fixed in their codebase.
Unfortunately we were not able to find out more and can't prepare a
patch with a proper explanation.
Thank you for reviewing.
