[ARM] 3546/1: PATCH: subtle lost interrupts bug on i.MX
Patch from Matt Reimer There is a subtle bug in the GPIO interrupt status register handling in arch/arm/mach-imx/irq.c:imx_gpio_ack_irq(). The documentation states that a 1 should be written to the relevant bit to acknowledge a GPIO interrupt, but that is not what the code does. The problem is that the |= writes back 1s for all the *other* interrupts represented in the register, so interrupts could get lost. For example, if interrupts are pending for GPIO B10 and B12, ISR_B would have the value 0x00001400. Then when the interrupt code handles GPIO B10, it eventually calls imx_gpio_ack_irq(IRQ_GPIOB(10)), which effectively does this: ISR_B |= 1 << 10; with the result that (0x00001400 | 0x00000400) is written, clearing the interrupt status bits for *both* GPIO B10 and B12. The fix is to write 1s only for the interrupts we want to clear. The same problem seems to be occurring in the DMA code; this patch does not address those issues.
