Yes. Sometime there is a lag in WX_GPIO_INTSTATUS. When the GPIO interrupt
cause,  the GPIO state has been back to its previous state. So I added this
workaround to save some...but only if there are other interrupts at the same
time, i.e. txgbe_irq_handler() called.

But I will remove it in the next version, because I find a more accurate solution.

Should we handle the interrupts when interface is not running?
