I have reworked the way the spinlocks, setting and resetting
of the hdq_irqstatus bits are done and now it works right from
start of boot. Without any timeouts or delays.

I am not exactly sure what went wrong, but it seems as if
the read is already done when the write interrupt status
bit is processed. Then, the old logic did wipe out both
bits by hdq_reset_irqstatus() and the read code did timeout
because it did not notice that the data had already been
available. This may depend on other system activities so
that it can explain why other tests didn't reveal it.

omap_hdq_runtime_resume() and omap_hdq_runtime_suspend()
also behave fine.

Before I can post something I need to clean up my hacks
and add similar fixes to omap_hdq_break() and omap_w1_triplet()
where I hope that I don't break those...

BR and thanks,
Nikolaus
