[PATCH v2 19/50] wilc1000: don't tell the chip to go to sleep while copying tx packets

From: David Mosberger-Tang
Date: Wed Dec 22 2021 - 20:15:45 EST


Putting the chip to sleep and waking it up again is relatively slow,
so there is no point to put the chip to sleep for the short time it
takes to copy a couple of packets.
