Indeed, the soft-disabled flag may remain after the event itself
disabled. However that soft-disabled flag will be cleared when
the event is re-enabled. it seems no bad side-effect.

Thus I doubt this patch is separately required. I guess this is
required for adding new trigger flag, isn't it? :)

Thank you,
