Subject: [ 092/117] drm/i915: Avoid a double-read of PCH_IIR during interrupt handling

3.2-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Chris Wilson <chris@...is-wilson.co.uk>

commit 9adab8b5a7fde248504f484e197589f3e3c922e2 upstream.

Currently the code re-reads PCH_IIR during the hotplug interrupt
processing. Not only is this a wasted read, but introduces a potential
for handling a spurious interrupt as we then may not clear all the
interrupts processed (since the re-read IIR may contains more interrupts
asserted than we clear using the result of the original read).
