So what this is doing is continue to poll,
even though the SCU says it is ready,
when the ERR bit is set ?

Are we sure the IPC does not just simply clear the err bit after some
time becuse it expects it to be "consumed" within X msec after dropping
busy low?

IOW what guarantees are there that this new behavior of ipc_data_readl()
is not actually causing us to ignore actual errors ?

Regards,

Hans
