[PATCH 13/29] mwl8k: don't touch 'command done' interrupt during firmware load
From: Lennert Buytenhek <hidden>

Since firmware load commands don't generate 'command done' interrupts like normal commands do, polling for command done interrupts just unnecessarily slows down the firmware load process. Removing this bit of code speeds up loading a typical firmware image from 840 msec to 180 msec.
