isr function issues SPI read command to mrf to obtain INTSTAT.
SPI transfer is 2 bytes, but value of 2nd byte is not defined.
This had the effect that only the first ISR worked as intended. The
second ISR read incorrect INTSTAT values. Observed on Raspberry PI B+.

thanks.

I think it would be better to not use global resources for hard irq
here. We should change that code to similar stuff in at86rf230 driver,
see [0].

So each irq as their own resource data. Note you still need to disable
irq stuff because LEVEL triggered irq's and irqline will be cleared
until INSTAT is readed out.
