3.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Stefan Sørensen <stefan.sorensen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 698b48532539484b012fb7c4176b959d32a17d00 upstream. When an interrupt has become active on the INTC it will stay active until it is acked, even if masked or de-asserted. The INTC_PENDING_IRQn registers are however updated and since these are used by omap_intc_handle_irq to determine which interrupt to handle, it will never see the active interrupt. This will result in a storm of useless interrupts that is only stopped when another higher priority interrupt is asserted. Fix by sending the INTC an acknowledge if we find no interrupts to handle.
