Compared to the original code, I rearranged order of checking interrupt
status bits to check the queue status first. The 85xx PW controller is
capable to receive and keep only one PW message. Therefore, I copy it
into the driver's FIFO and re-enable HW Rx queue (it is called queue but
can accept only one entry) ASAP. I have a test setup that is capable
generate multiple PW messages and see many messages discarded by PW
controller
because of this single-entry HW queue.

Oops! Leftover from some testing. Will clean it up.

Agree. Will correct.
