The first version I wrote looked similar. However I decided to wait the entire 1s
because I could imagine a situation where the interrupt was pending, but if I were
to wait a bit longer, it would have become active and pending, which is not what
we would want. Same thing with inactive.

How about after the state matches what we expect, we wait for an extra 100ms and
check that the state hasn't changed?

Also, you probably also want to lower the timeout in arm/unittests.cfg.

Thanks,
Alex
