I hav'nt looked about how the device is created. But if it is created
with the fifo empty you don't need the pre_load().

I have no idea about this device, but sometimes it just happens that if
the fifo has data, you need to put an irq somewhere or mark it some
place that there is pending job on this device.

Later, Juan.
