Thanks for the info, reading this sub topic:

Assuming the memory area is non-shared*, a device read (non-shared)
would commit the (posted) write and clear the interrupt.
*which may be a false assumption

I froze my OE build a while back as recommended. Since that time there was
some discussion [1] on infinite irq -33 errors when running mplayer. I've
started seeing this more lately, and the previous discussion thread kind of
seemed to leave the issue hanging. Has there been enough improvement to make
risking the build cycle worthwhile?
