Hmm, you are right. My patch is partially bogus. It enables the
CCSR_SSI_SIER_TDMAE and CCSR_SSI_SIER_RDMAE bits on demand, but this setting
will be overwritten by the "write_ssi(sier_bits, &ssi->sier);" just a few
lines below. :(

But this patch works, because it removes the CCSR_SSI_SIER_TDMAE and
CCSR_SSI_SIER_RDMAE from the SIER_FLAGS macro. Its content is set
_unconditionally_ in lines 570 and 575 and is written to the register in line
607. This should hit PowerPC as well.

So, the real (and small) fix is to remove these bits from the SIER_FLAGS
macro:

@Markus: can you please test it on your hardware?

Thanks
