Okay, Tejun / Bart / Alan:

This proves that the device does work correctly in most respects
except for interrupt delivery.  The status bits are working and
it can be probed for, configured, and used.

So, next step might be to try and understand the interrupt mis-delivery
problem some more.   I've lost the history of the original issue,
but we now know that everything except the actual interrupt seems good.

Cheers
