I don't understand this comment: you still schedule work to read the port-write queue; so how is this message buffering performed as soon as possible?

- Modified to disable port-write controller when clearing Transaction Error (TE)

/* Schedule deferred processing if PW was received */
- if (ipwsr & RIO_IPWSR_QFI) {
+ if ((ipwmr & RIO_IPWMR_QFIE) && (ipwsr & RIO_IPWSR_QFI)) {

+pw_done:
+ if (epwisr & 0x80000000) {
