[PATCH 4/6] staging: drm/imx: Add i.MX IPUv3 crtc support

[eric.nelson@boundarydevices.com (Eric Nelson)]

Hi Sascha,

While testing against a video-enabled U-Boot on i.MX6, I found the issue
below.

Interrupts get enabled here

But ipu_crtc->imx_crtc gets initialized in this call, and
ipu_irq_handler() makes use of it.

The U-Boot code doesn't enable interrupts, so it's not acking
along the way, and leaves bits set in IPU1_INT_STAT_15.

I found that I can get around this in U-Boot by disabling the
LCD controller and acking all of the interrupts after disabling
the controller, but I haven't yet figured out where to tap into 
cleanup_before_linux().

Regards,
