I just wonder why do the HW creators feel so creative to redefine the 
world...

I asked last time:
* What bus is this -- posting?

You replied:
* Here just clear interrupt.
* Not really understand your comment?

So I am asking again:
What bus is this? Isn't a posted write a problem here? I mean, shouldn't 
you read from the register so that the write hits the device? That 
depends on the bus this sits on, so just asking.

Other than that the driver looks much better now, i.e. LGTM.

thanks,
