Russell King run into this with an USB-to-serial converter. This patch implements his suggestion to enable the high frequent SOF interrupt only at the time we have ATL packages queued. It goes even one step further and enables the SOF interrupt only if we have more than one ATL packet queued at the same time.

Perhaps the patch should better be named "work around errata 2"... errata was "implemented" in hardware, not software, after all. Sorry for not noticing this in the first comment...
