spidernet: fix interrupt reason recognition
This patch solves a problem that the spidernet driver sometimes fails to handle IRQ. The problem happens because, - In Cell architecture, interrupts may arrive at an interrupt controller, even if they are masked by the setting on registers of devices. It happens when interrupt packets are sent just before the interrupts are masked. - spidernet interrupt handler compares interrupt reasons with interrupt masks, so when such interrupts occurs, spidernet interrupt handler returns IRQ_NONE. - When all of interrupt handler return IRQ_NONE, linux kernel disables the IRQ and it no longer delivers interrupts to the interrupt handlers. spidernet doesn't work after above sequence, because it can't receive interrupts. This patch changes spidernet interrupt handler that it compares interrupt reason with SPIDER_NET_INTX_MASK_VALUE.
