Please sort these lines with the longest line at the top, following the reverse christmas-tree style.
Thank you for the input will make the changes in v4

Since you don't need to use the thread-based accessors after this, you can call put_cpu() right now to avoid keeping preemption disabled unnecessarily for too long.

These two registers dealing with interrupt masking and cause are already cleared in mvpp2_bm_init(), not shown in the diff context, so either you can remove these or the ones in mvpp2_bm_init().
