[BCM4718] Broken interrupts

Hi Adrian!

Yes, KDB works. And yes, (today's finding) something is silly that force
make IRQ5 endless. After processing of previous request, next request is
starting. According to mips docs found in google, IRQ5 must be triggered
only if count == compare. In my case, count increments on 0x20000 roughly,
compare is constant. There is another finding: cause register is always
0x8000, even after call mips_wr_compare(). I suppose that this is possible
reason of infinite IRQ5 requests, but still don't know how to fix it...

Thx,
 Michael
