Shouldn't this function be using spin_lock_irqsave() and
spin_unlock_irqrestore()?  If interrupts are generally disabled before
calling this function, then they will be enabled by the
spin_unlock_irq() call, and I don't think we want that.  This function
is only supposed to enable pl011 interrupts, not all interrupts.
