I had the same problem with our custom driver, and the patch eliminated the
problem.
After a double check on our code we found a small bug over a possible race
condition.
After fixed the bug we removed the sync instruction and bad interrupt never
happened again.

My personal suggestion is:

1 - have a look to the mail thread then  you will discover that this problem
     occours only with centain kernel revision;
2 - double check your code to be sure that you do not have any race
condition;
3 - check your hardware init sequence;
4 - finally apply the patch (only in you do not have any better solution).
