Thank you very much for pointing me in the right direction. While using
threaded irqs we notice two different bugs which seem to have been there
for a while. One related to pinmux and other with gpio driver for Vybrid
in how it handled the irq's.
Will send out a new version with the changes incoporated. The GPIO driver
fix will be send in a separate patch by my colleague.
Thanks & Regards,
Sanchayan.
