Thanks for doing this.

Only a few minor tweaks I would recommend. Otherwise it looks good.

I'm not sure about this bit as it includes queue interrupts if I am
not mistaken. What we should be focusing on are the bits that are not
auto-cleared so this should probably be icr & ~adapter->eiac_mask.
Actually what you might do is something like:
    icr &= ~adapter->eiac_mask;
    if (icr)
        ew32(ICS, icr);

Also a comment explaining that we have to clear the bits that are not
automatically cleared by other interrupt causes might be useful.

I wouldn't bother with the jump tag. Let's just make this one if
statement checking both OTHER && LSC.

If you just combine the if statement logic the code naturally flows to
this point anyway without the jump label being needed.
