The issue is that we have two PMUs attached to the same interrupt line.
Unfortunately, I just don't seem to find time to add support for shared 
interrupts to the cspmu driver. Meanwhile, I assigned the interrupt 
to one of the PMUs while the other one has zero in the APMT table. Without 
the patch, I can trigger "ghost interrupt" in the latter PMU.

Cheers, Ilkka
