The max77843 datasheet includes following sentence:
- "All bits are cleared after a read" about INT1/INT2/INT3 register.
There are no problem about interrupt handling.

The MAXIM MAX77843 MUIC support the one more interrupts (e.g., ADC1K, VBVolt, ChgTyp ...).
The each interrupt is included in the one register among INT1/2/3.

This patch clear the all interrupts of MAX77843 before requesting the interrupts.

When completed kernel booting, the delayed work of extcon-max77843.c driver
use the MAX77843_MUIC_STATUSx register to detect the type of connected
external connectors. So, there are no problme about clearing all bits of INT1/2/3 interrupt register.

If user-space platform don't finish the initialization of all user-process daemons
and extcon driver send the uevent during only kernel booting, the uevent is not handled
on user-space daemons.

Thanks,
