I've been staring more at this again and it looks (2 clock
strangenesses and extensive control reg setting apart) like good code.
I have another question: like the Cirrus driver, this takes 100% CPU
doing busy wait for the current transfer to complete.
Given that this driver is interrupt-based, is there any reason why it
can't do something else in the meanwhile?
Not that that's a reason not to include it in 2.6.35 - it works well
and we can think whether to make it more efficient in N+1...
