In my naive little mpscless bubbleworld, I am believing that this is a
pretty important fix, and that people in an mpscful world might want it in
2.6.22. And even in 2.6.21.x.

But alas, that's just a guess, which was forced upon me by the lack of
suitable information in your changelog.

So please, tell us what are the real-world consequences of your patch (or
the lack of it), thanks.

Yes, that's probably true although the timing has to be just right for
it to occurs so its not that frequent.
I don't know what I have to do to get it into 2.6.22 at this late moment
(or 2.6.21.x for that matter).

My aplogies.

I'll resubmit the patch with a better description momentarily.
Sorry for the hassle.

From: Jay Lubomirski <jaylubo@motorola.com>

The interrupt clearing code in mpsc_sdma_intr_ack() mistakenly clears the
interrupt for both controllers instead of just the one its supposed to.
This can result in the other controller appearing to hang because its
interrupt was effectively lost.

So, don't clear the interrupt cause bits for both MPSC controllers when
clearing the interrupt for one of them. Just clear the one that is
supposed to be cleared.

Please add this to 2.6.21.x and 2.6.22-rc6, if its not too late.
