Hi Alan,

So I think

1. Pass the informatio upon whether IRQ mode should be used in the
platform information and remove all the ifdeffery

I will double check with Sathya. But in case polling mode is left for
development purpose, make we can create a static variable to set irq
mode or not.

If its only for development it doesn't IMHO need to be upstream. If its
useful for debug and/or needed on real chipsets (as I believe is the case
for the older ones) then a module (and thus kernel command line) option
would be sensible yes.

Looks like this patch is keeping poll mode for Lincroft support, since
interrupt mode was never tested there. We're sending new version of
this patch set soon.

Br, David
