When the Qualcomm pinctrl driver wants to Ack an interrupt, it does a
read-modify-write on the interrupt status register. On some SoCs it
makes sure that the status bit is 1 to "Ack" and on others it makes
sure that the bit is 0 to "Ack". Presumably the first type of
interrupt controller is a "write 1 to clear" type register and the
second just let you directly set the interrupt status register.
As far as I can tell from scanning structure definitions, the
interrupt status bit is always in a register by itself. Thus with
both types of interrupt controllers it is safe to "Ack" interrupts
without doing a read-modify-write. We can do a simple write.
It should be noted that if the interrupt status bit _was_ ever in a
register with other things (like maybe status bits for other GPIOs):
a) For "write 1 clear" type controllers then read-modify-write would
be totally wrong because we'd accidentally end up clearing
interrupts we weren't looking at.
b) For "direct set" type controllers then read-modify-write would also
be wrong because someone setting one of the other bits in the
register might accidentally clear (or set) our interrupt.
I say this simply to show that the current read-modify-write doesn't
provide any sort of "future proofing" of the code. In fact (for
"write 1 clear" controllers) the new code is slightly more "future
proof" since it would allow more than one interrupt status bits to
share a register.
NOTE: this code fixes no bugs--it simply avoids an extra register
read.
