Subject: [PATCH 3.8 064/133] ARM: OMAP2+: INTC: Acknowledge stuck active interrupts

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

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

From: =?UTF-8?q?Stefan=20S=C3=B8rensen?= <stefan.sorensen@...ctralink.com>

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.
