  15 Hi,
  16 a while back I sent a few mails regarding spurious interrupts in the
  17 UARTA (hsuart) block of the Tegra2 SoC, when using the 8250 driver for
  18 it instead of the hsuart driver. After going down a pretty deep
  19 debugging/testing hole, I think I found a patch that fixes the issue. So
  20 far testing in a reboot-cycle suggests that the error frequency dropped
  21 from >3% of all reboots to at least <0.05% of all reboots. Tests
  22 continue to run over the weekend.
  23
  24 The patch below already is a second iteration; the first did not reset
  25 the MCR or contain the lines below '// clear interrupts'. This resulted
  26 in no more spurious interrupts, but in a few % of spurious interrupts
  27 that were recovered the UART block did not receive any characters any
  28 more. So further resetting was required to fully reacquire operational
  29 state of the UART block.
  30
  31 I'd love any comments/suggestions on this!
  32
  33 Cheers,
  34
