Not completed i.e. outstanding I think.

Okay. Is there an errata document describing this behavior? If the CPSW
interrupt source is disabled, the CPSW should keep quiet. This is also
what the manual says. If cpsw does not allow new interrupts to
propagate to ARM's INTC then there is something wrong. It looks like
the source is not disabled in CPSW properly. This works on ES1.0.

Lets get back to this ofter this series of five is merged.
