Subject: [PATCH 3.16 32/47] s390/qdio: don't touch the dsci in
 tiqdio_add_input_queues()

3.16.76-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Julian Wiedmann <jwi@...ux.ibm.com>

commit ac6639cd3db607d386616487902b4cc1850a7be5 upstream.

Current code sets the dsci to 0x00000080. Which doesn't make any sense,
as the indicator area is located in the _left-most_ byte.

Worse: if the dsci is the _shared_ indicator, this potentially clears
the indication of activity for a _different_ device.
tiqdio_thinint_handler() will then have no reason to call that device's
IRQ handler, and the device ends up stalling.

Fixes: d0c9d4a89fff ("[S390] qdio: set correct bit in dsci")
