Thanks for your comment.
This is a bug which triggers one kernel warning about wrong ISR state as
you said. We have fixed it.

For these complier warnings, we have fixed them in Mediatek upstream
environment[1]. In this build environment, we could observe some
comelier warnings which are not generated by Chromium OS toolchain.

Our colleague is preparing material to explain the our 3A/MW design. If
he is ready, he will discuss this with you.

In the original plan, we will deliver P1 v4 patch set tomorrow (31th
Jul.). But, there are some comments waiting for other experts' input.
Do you suggest it is better to resolve all comments before v4 patch set
submitting or continue to discuss these comments on v4?

Thanks,


Jungo
