Generaly clearing the IRQ needs to be done before testing for pending
IRQs - ie as the first thing

Move the write to status up higher:

	rc = tpm_tis_read32(priv, TPM_INT_STATUS(priv->locality), &interrupt);
	rc = tpm_tis_write32(priv, TPM_INT_STATUS(priv->locality), interrupt);
	
        [handle 'interrupt']

Then if new events set a status bit they will generate an edge and
re-enter here.

I don't know why there is an extra read at the end of the handler
either, seems sketchy.
