Subject[PATCH v3] irqchip: omap-intc: add support for spurious irq handling
Date
Under some conditions, irq sorting procedure used
by INTC can go wrong resulting in a spurious irq
getting reported.

If this condition is not handled, it results in
endless stream of:

unexpected IRQ trap at vector 00

messages from ack_bad_irq()

Handle the spurious interrupt condition in omap-intc
driver to prevent this.

Measurements using kernel function profiler on AM335x
EVM running at 720MHz show that after this patch
omap_intc_handle_irq() takes about 37.4us against
34us before this patch.

v3: add unlikely(), add profiling information
to commit message.

v2: increment error irq counter, use pr_err_once,
add a comment on tips to debug spurious irq
condition.

This patch results in a checkpatch warning about
extern definition of irq_err_count, but looks like
thats the prevalent method of accessing that counter.
