Per my comment on previous patch, I've swapped the logic here to be in
line with what we had before. I have no objection to trying this change
again, but later, and only if you have actual numbers to back it up.

Wouldn't it be more correct to only write the INTR bit? Writing back
the whole 8 bits frightens me a little especially because of bit
INUSE_STS. If we ever want to support this feature, I think we have to
first ban writing back the whole status to register HST_STS. And this
is the only place where we still do AFAICS.

(This isn't a regression from your patch, the old code was already
doing that, but it might be the opportunity to fix it.)
