/proc/interrupts is not going up.  The camera app shows just a blank
frame; sysctl-t shows that it's stuck in an ioctl, and the function that
it's stuck in is cafe_vidioc_dqbuf().  It's specifically stuck here:

                if (wait_event_interruptible(cam->iowait,

!list_empty(&cam->sb_full))) {
                        ret = -ERESTARTSYS;

The list never gets filled; that makes sense, if we never get an
interrupt (and thus cafe_frame_tasklet is never scheduled).

The question is now, why wouldn't we be seeing interrupts?
