Subject: [PATCH v2] irqchip/bcm2836: Prevent spurious interrupts

From: Phil Elwell <phil@...pberrypi.org>

The old arch-specific IRQ macros included a dsb to ensure the
write to clear the mailbox interrupt completed before returning
from the interrupt. The BCM2836 irqchip driver needs the same
precaution to avoid spurious interrupts.
