So enabling the MPU TX interrupt causes lockup. Very similar to my 
experience with the previous version of the MIDI driver. Please put a 
debug line to snd_vt1724_interrupt, listing status bits for each 
interrupt. That was the place I experienced loops etc. In my case the 
flood eventually fooled the logging facility, but I could still read the 
first few logs.

I was also getting only TX interrupt floods, RX was OK.

Good luck,


Pavel.
