Subject: [080/129] tmio_mmc: dont clear unhandled pending interrupts

2.6.35-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Yusuke Goda <yusuke.goda.sx@...esas.com>

commit b78d6c5f51935ba89df8db33a57bacb547aa7325 upstream.

Previously, it was possible for ack_mmc_irqs() to clear pending interrupt
bits in the CTL_STATUS register, even though the interrupt handler had not
been called.  This was because of a race that existed when doing a
read-modify-write sequence on CTL_STATUS.  After the read step in this
sequence, if an interrupt occurred (causing one of the bits in CTL_STATUS
to be set) the write step would inadvertently clear it.

Observed with the TMIO_STAT_RXRDY bit together with CMD53 on AR6002 and
BCM4318 SDIO cards in polled mode.

This patch eliminates this race by only writing to CTL_STATUS and clearing
the interrupts that were passed as an argument to ack_mmc_irqs()."
