dmaengine: imx-sdma: ack channel 0 IRQ in the interrupt handler
Currently the handler ignores the channel 0 interrupt and thus doesn't ack
it properly. This is done in order to allow sdma_run_channel0() to poll
on the irq status bit, as this function may be called in atomic context,
but needs to know when the channel has finished.
This works mostly, as the polling happens under a spinlock, disabling IRQs
on the local CPU, leaving only a very slight race window for a spurious
IRQ to happen if the handler is executed on another CPU in an SMP system.
Still this is clearly suboptimal.
This behavior turns into a real problem on an RT system, where the spinlock
doesn't disable IRQs on the local CPU. Not acking the IRQ in the handler
in such a setup is very likely to drown the CPU in an IRQ storm, leaving
it unable to make any progress in the polling loop, leading to the IRQ
never being acked.
Fix this by properly acknowledging the channel 0 IRQ in the handler.
As the IRQ status bit can no longer be used to poll for the channel
completion, switch over to using the SDMA_H_STATSTOP register for this
purpose, where bit 0 is cleared by the hardware when the channel is done.
