Commit 2be6b47211e1 ("i2c: aspeed: Acknowledge most interrupts early in
interrupt handler") acknowledges most interrupts early before the slave
irq handler is executed, except for the "Receive Done Interrupt status"
which is acknowledged late in the interrupt.
However, it has been observed that the early acknowledgment of "Transmit
Done Interrupt Status" (with ACK or NACK) often causes the interrupt to
be raised in READ REQUEST state, that shows the
"Unexpected ACK on read request." complaint messages.

Assuming that the "Transmit Done" interrupt should only be acknowledged
once it is truly processed, this commit fixes that issue by acknowledging
interrupts for both ACK and NACK cases late in the interrupt handler.

   + About a note to remind why the readl() should immediately follow the
writel() to fix the race condition when clearing irq status from commit
c926c87b8e36 ("i2c: aspeed: Avoid i2c interrupt status clear race
condition"), I think it looks straight forward in this patch and decided
not to add that note.                                            [Joel]

v1:
   + First introduced in

As there will be v4, I'd like to improve this line of code a bit.

During debug, there are significant number of times when the irq_received has the value of 0x00000004 (INTR_RX_DONE) or 0x00000001 (INTR_TX_ACK). This makes the "irq_received & ~irq_ack_last" turn out to be 0.

AFAIK, it does not make sense to keep repeatedly writing the 0 to the HW then try to re-read it with readl() every time. I'd like to change this HW access conditionally to avoid those unnecessary access.

The change would looks like below:
