The wakeup and sleep commands need to be sent to the WILC chip only
when it is in power save mode (PSM, as controlled by "iw dev wlan0 set
power_save on/off"). The commands are relatively costly, so it pays
to skip them when possible.
iperf3 without this patch (no significant different with PSM on/off):
TX 0.00-120.01 sec 140 MBytes 9.82 Mbits/sec
RX 0.00-120.69 sec 283 MBytes 19.6 Mbits/sec
with this patch applied:
PSM off (TX is 46% improved, RX slightly improved; may not be significant):
TX 0.00-120.00 sec 206 MBytes 14.4 Mbits/sec
RX 0.00-120.48 sec 322 MBytes 22.4 Mbits/sec
PSM on (no significant change):
TX 0.00-120.00 sec 140 MBytes 9.78 Mbits/sec
RX 0.00-120.08 sec 257 MBytes 18.0 Mbits/sec

The messages appears to have been copied from wilc_get_mac_address and
says "get" when it should say "set".

Add new WID(WID_WOWLAN_TRIGGER) to send wake_enable information to firmware.
In 'set_wakeup' cfg80211_ops callback, the enable information was not
passed to firmware which is required to handle WOWLan trigger notification
from firmware.

Move initialization & deinitialization of 'deinit_lock' mutex lock inside
wlan_init_locks() & wlan_deinit_locks() API's respectively alongside other
locks. After the movement, the client count variable(client_count) which is
used for lock init/deinit is removed.
