Yeah I was just looking at this patch it looks a bit weird. Like
most IRQ acks are write 1 to clear, so doing an update_bits seems
unlikely to work, as it will ack every pending interrupt. As the
whole idea of doing a regmap_write was to only write 1 to the bits
that need ACKed.

I suspect what is needed here is the inverted case wants an
update bits but the normal case needs to stay as a regmap_write.
