[regression] matrox drm/mga driver do not use interrupts

[Marin Mitov]

Hi all,

I observed that matrox drm/mga driver do not use interrupts in 2.6.39,
while it uses it in 2.6.32.41 (different kernels, same userland, all 32 bits,
IRQ assigned to VGA in BIOS).

One finds in Xorg.0.log:

(II) MGA(0): [drm] failure adding irq handler, there is a device already using that irq

which is misleading, because no other device is using it. A small kernel module
that simply request_irq()/free_irq() is getting the same IRQ without a problem.

Debugging the drm/mga couple traced the problem to this operator:
(in drivers/gpu/drm/drm_irq.c, drm_control() function)

		if (dev->if_version < DRM_IF_VERSION(1, 2) &&
		    ctl->irq != drm_dev_to_irq(dev))
			return -EINVAL;

where:

ctl->irq = -22, drm_dev_to_irq(dev) = 16 (the correct value), and
return -EINVAL; is executed.

If I change ctl->irq = 16, just before the if operator, all is working OK.

Just for info, almost the same hardware/chipsets/VGA(matrox) is
working OK in  2.6.39/64 bits, but userland (64 bits too) is a newer version).

I am ready for testing patches, I use 3 Matrox g450 AGP adapters on 2 - 32 bits
systems and 1 - 64 bits system.

Please, help in solving the problem.
