Matt Reimer e2f04e1894 [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.
