Hello Ingo,

thanks for reply. I am attaching updated version of the patch at the end of e-mail.
There is problem with missing include in tick-sched.c

Unfortunately, even with these corrections boot stuck at

Memory: 18972KB available (2488K code, 358K data, 92K init)

I have not time now to start JTAG debugging session, so I look at that
tomorrow or on Friday.

It seems, that the interrupts are not coming from device.

Best wishes
