Michael, Andreas, would you please confirm that this is workable on Atari?
The driver could sleep when IPL == 2 because arch_irqs_disabled_flags()
would return false (on Atari). I'm wondering whether that would deadlock.
Pretty sure this would deadlock when in interrupt context here.
Otherwise, IPL 2 is perfectly OK (which is why
arch_irqs_disabled_flags() returns false in that case).
If you want to be 100% certain, I can give this one a spin.
Cheers,
Michael
