Yes, our case is handle_simple_irq(), not handle_edge_irq(), handle_level_irq() or
handle_fasteoi_irq(), etc. because there is no ACK mechanism inside the
GPIO controller's interrupt logic - all we need to do is read the status
register to get the status and write-to-clear the status register so that
a new interrupt can be triggered, i.e. there is only one register for both.
