Hi,

Have a look on commit 7f3ea17f316577e31db868f720ac575c74d20163, which
fixes a linux bug about Port C interrupts

Also note that the 8555 have the same issue that the 8272 about
PC2 / PC3 missing which shifts other vectors, but I don't know if 56
for PC9 take that into account.

PS: in the future make sure to include your Linux version number, so we
know if an issue apply or not.
