I just downloaded the i.MX21 reference manual and its NFC interrupts can
also be masked with INT_MASK (bit 4) of NFC_Flash_Config1 (0xdf003e1a).

IMHO we should revert the driver to masking the NFC interrupts. The
current linux-next version with nosync irq disabling within the
interrupt handler is a bit silly. Especially since the interrupt handler
does nothing except signal a wait queue.
