[+cc Lorenzo, please cc him on all drivers/{host,dwc,endpoint} material]

Please run "git log --oneline drivers/pci/host/pcie-mediatek.c" and
make yours match. Same capitalization, same sentence structure, etc.,
e.g.,

PCI: mediatek: Clear IRQ status ...

s/dispathed/dispatched/

s/irq/IRQ/ in the summary and all the English text below.

By "dead loop" I assume you mean "infinite loop"? I don't think it's
a deadlock since nothing is waiting.
