Commit ea0c62f7cf70f13a67830471b613337bd0c9a62e tried to clear all bits in irq_stat but it didn't actually achieve that as irq_stat was anded with port_map right after read. This patch makes ahci driver always use the unmasked value to clear irq_status. While at it, add explanation on the peculiarities of ahci IRQ clearing. This was spotted by Linus Torvalds. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- The original report requires further investigation regarding why the bogus change fixed the problem but this change is the correct thing to do regardless.
