Hello Olivier,

thanks for following up on my comment first. I really appreciate. - I 
don't have access to the hardware anymore, so I cannot test changes myself.

This patch addresses IMHO three fixes. - Shouldn't it be split up into 
three small junks so one could also later work w/ git bisect / separate 
ack's? - That way it is an all or nothing thing. Please regard this 
remark as cosmetics.

What about the locking in the IRQ handler msgdma_irq_handler() itself? - 
Shouldn't spin_unlock_irqsave/restore() be used there as well instead of 
just spinlock/unlock()?
