Yes - the lines mentioned didn't care about irq-status register
and try to figure out from some context, how the irq-status register
should look like - but this in fact does not work correctly for the
440 OHCI implementation...

Not that I'm aware of, I discovered that a few days ago.

I don't know why this is not part of the mainline kernel. On the PPC
side there is currently a lot of restructure work going on, so I guess
this is only a question of time, when the necessary patches will go
into the mainline.

Please find the patch for the ohc-hcd.c in the attachment.

Ciao,
