The wl1835mod.pdf data sheet says this pretty clearly for WL_IRQ line:
"WLAN SDIO out-of-band interrupt line. Set to rising edge (active high)
by default."
And it seems this interrupt can be optionally configured to use falling
edge too since commit bd763482c82e ("wl18xx: wlan_irq: support platform
dependent interrupt types").
On omap4, if the wlcore interrupt is configured as level instead of edge,
L4PER will stop doing hardware based idling after ifconfig wlan0 down is
done and the WL_EN line is pulled down.
The symptoms show up with L4PER status registers no longer showing the
IDLEST bits as 2 but as 0 for all the active GPIO banks and for
L4PER_CLKCTRL. Also the l4per_pwrdm RET count stops increasing in
the /sys/kernel/debug/pm_debug/count.
While there is also probably a GPIO related issue that needs to be
still fixed, this change gets us to the point where we can have L4PER
idling.
I'm guessing wlcore was at some point configured to use level interrupts
because of edge handling issues in gpio-omap. However, with the recent
fixes to gpio-omap the edge interrupts seem to be working just fine.
Let's change it for all omap boards with wlcore interrupt set as level.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
