Indeed this seems to solve it for me as well, you can add my

Tested-by: Sascha Hauer <s.hauer at pengutronix.de>

However, there seem to be two problems: First that "DECO Invalid KEY
command" actually occurs and second that the deqeueue code currently
can't handle a NULL pointer in the output ring.
Do you think that the occurence of a NULL pointer is also a coherency
issue?
