What if a real async connector change event happens here? It can because
you just cleared the connector change condition. But it will be ignored
because EVENT_PENDING is still set. In practive the new event might even
be reported in the CCI along with the completion of the ACK command
above (without an additional async event).

So the PPM now thinks it reported the event to us and will not send
an async event again. But we will never check for it because we ignored
it and the UCSI will be stuck forever.

What UCSI backend (ACPI, CCG, ...) is this?
