Hi Janusz,

My ARM's not used much these days so I don't know how much this matters
and may be incorrect so I've cut down the CC list, but given it's a FIQ
handler and speed matters...

Couldn't that be an `ands' instruction if MBRD_CLK_MASK has one-bit set?
Then the cmp could be deleted.

Similarly, an `ldrs' here would make the cmp redundant.  There's other
similar bits elsewhere.

Thanks for continuing with these E3 patches.

Cheers,
Ralph.
