I don't know what the timing requirement is.  What I do know is what
the current code does, which is to use the signal to control the
transmit DMA when PCON wants to transfer data.

Now, remember that PCON has a habbit of resetting the PXA when things
happen that it doesn't like, I really don't want to go round
experimenting with this thing; as already stated it's really not worth
trying to merge this code if that's what will be required.
