This fixes issue with interface bridging.
Linux bridging sets promiscuous mode for all
interfaces that are in a bridge. This translates
to configure_filter() being called in a mac80211
driver.
Before the patch operational interface would be
started and upped again when promiscuous mode was
enabled causing all sorts of strange issues:
* no HTT RX happening (i.e. no traffic)
* FW crash upon driver reload/unload

mac80211 provides another iteration function but
it cannot be safely called in hw_config() callback

Recent WMI/HTC changes made it possible for WMI

credits to submit a command). TX path is in an
atomic context so calling WMI commands in it is
wrong.
This simply moves WEP key index update to a worker

them).
