i.MX controllers require writing a 0 to clear these bits. Vybrid controllers
need writing a 1 for the same.

This patch is only about using the correct processor specific value for 
acknowledging an IRQ... But I think that returning EAGAIN (which aborts the
transfer) should be handling enough. At the next transfer, the controller will
be set back to master mode.
