It has been observed that sometimes DSS will trigger an interrupt and
the top level interrupt (DISPC_IRQSTATUS) is not zero, but the VP and
VID level interrupt-statuses are zero.

As the top level irqstatus is supposed to tell whether we have VP/VID
interrupts, the thinking of the driver authors was that this particular
case could never happen. Thus the driver only clears the DISPC_IRQSTATUS
bits which has corresponding interrupts in VP/VID status. So when this
issue happens, the driver will not clear DISPC_IRQSTATUS, and we get an
interrupt flood.

It is unclear why the issue happens. It could be a race issue in the
driver, but no such race has been found. It could also be an issue with
the HW. However a similar case can be easily triggered by manually
writing to DISPC_IRQSTATUS_RAW. This will forcibly set a bit in the
DISPC_IRQSTATUS and trigger an interrupt, and as the driver never clears
the bit, we get an interrupt flood.

To fix the issue, always clear DISPC_IRQSTATUS. The concern with this
solution is that if the top level irqstatus is the one that triggers the
interrupt, always clearing DISPC_IRQSTATUS might leave some interrupts
unhandled if VP/VID interrupt statuses have bits set. However, testing
shows that if any of the irqstatuses is set (i.e. even if
DISPC_IRQSTATUS == 0, but a VID irqstatus has a bit set), we will get an
interrupt.

I assume a reviewed by doesn't make sense since I co-developed this patch
but adding my tested by, hopefully that makes sense.

Tested an equivalent patch for several weeks.
