There is no interrupt lost at all. 

Currently this patch addresses 2 issues.

Scenario 1: Extra interrupt when we select TINT source on enable_irq()

Getting an extra interrupt, when client drivers calls enable_irq() during probe()/resume(). In this case, the irq handler on the
Client driver just clear the interrupt status bit.

Issue 2: IRQ storm when we select TINT source on enable_irq()

Here as well, we are getting an extra interrupt, when client drivers calls enable_irq() during probe() and this Interrupts getting generated infinitely, when the client driver calls disable_irq() in irq handler and in in work queue calling enable_irq().

Currently we are not loosing interrupts, but we are getting additional
Interrupt(phantom) which is causing the issue.

Biju
