In interrupt mode we clear the status flags twice, in the interrupt handler and in i801_check_post(). Remove clearing the status flags from i801_check_post() and let i801_wait_intr() clear them in polling mode. Another benefit is that now only checks for error conditions are left in i801_check_post(), thus better matching the function name. Note: There's a comment in i801_check_post() that i801_wait_intr() clears the error status bits. Actually this hasn't been true until this change.
