Ah, sorry missed this one.

This doesn't look right to me. IRQ handlers are supposed to execute quickly and
not block for long time. Here the EPF drivers are free to consume more time if
they want and that will block the IRQ handler.

Since the IRQ handler is just reporting the IRQs and calling link_up handler,
it looks like it should be made as a threaded IRQ as like other DWC drivers.

Thoughts?

Thanks,
Mani
