That is good for you :)

No, and the omap3 is running with 800 MHz only.

I haven't tested on another board but the bug is very reproducible
and I was able to bisect it to this patch, which makes the difference.

So there may be boards which happily run with the patch and some
don't. Maybe a race condition with hardware.

But I think the assumption that "ARDY always gets set after a new
command when register access is ready so there's no need for NACK
interrupt to control this" may not hold in all situations. Potentially
if a new command is never ready.

BR,
Nikolaus
