94010fa0dd07e8b904e7c6b6589f15573008ab15 ("rtlwifi: add MSI interrupts
mode support") introduced MSI interrupts mode support, which seemed
safe enough with RTL8188EE and RTL8723BE as RealTek's testing results,
but some users reported their RTL8188EE modules could not connect to
any wireless network after the MSI mode was enabled by Ubuntu 14.04.

So, let's fallback to pin-based mode until rtlwifi's MSI support get
good compatibility.
