mfd: Clear twl6030 IRQ status register only once
TWL6030 family of PMIC use a shadow interrupt status register while kernel processes the current interrupt event. However, any write(0 or 1) to register INT_STS_A, INT_STS_B or INT_STS_C clears all 3 interrupt status registers. Since clear of the interrupt is done on 32k clk, depending on I2C bus speed, we could in-adverently clear the status of a interrupt status pending on shadow register in the current implementation. This is due to the fact that multi-byte i2c write operation into three seperate status register could result in multiple load and clear of status and result in lost interrupts. Instead, doing a single byte write to INT_STS_A register with 0x0 will clear all three interrupt status registers without the related risk.
