Hm, so this type of interrupt problem is *supposed* to be handled by
setting of the PEG_BAND_GAP_DATA reg (low bits set to 0xd).  Do you
have that in your tree?  Does git master have this problem?

Maybe we need to add a patch to 2.6.30.x to set PEG_BAND_GAP_DATA as a
workaround (git master already has code to do this properly for HDMI
and DP outputs afaict).
