So that you are telling me that this is not racy because we won't
receive any irq until we pull the ack down. Am I understanding
correctly?
But if this patch is fixing an unstable ack flag, how can I
believe this won't end up into a race?

Where exactly did you see the ack going to '0', here in the
thread or in handler?

this clear_start() is called both here and in the thread, why?
