Hmm... This isn't working on my ep9307 board...

When the system boots I get stormed with messages:

dma dma1chan0: unknown interrupt!
dma dma1chan0: unknown interrupt!
dma dma1chan0: unknown interrupt!
dma dma1chan1: unknown interrupt!
dma dma1chan1: unknown interrupt!
dma dma1chan1: unknown interrupt!
dma dma1chan0: unknown interrupt!
dma dma1chan0: unknown interrupt!
dma dma1chan1: unknown interrupt!

Note, I have use_dma set for the ep93xx_spi driver and am using mmc_spi.

Also note, without your patch I also get a couple messages:

dma dma1chan1: got interrupt while active list is empty

But, the mmc card is working fine. I haven't tracked down why I get these
yet. Mika, any ideas?
I've noticed the same. But they also happen without this patch applied. I've
tracked it down to MULTI_IRQ_HANDLER support patches for ARM vic but not sure
what might be wrong there (or is the ep93xx_dma driver behaving badly). I
noticed that when we get that 'got interrupt while active list is empty' we
don't have any interrupts set in the M2M_INTERRUPT register but we still got
an interrupt.. weird.

Below is a workaround I've been using lately but it certainly is a hack and we
should figure out what is the root cause for this.
