For each interrupt, there is state machine in mbigen chip.
inactive-->pending--> active(pending & active)

The level triggered interrupt process flow list as below:
device---->mbigen---->ITS---->GIC--->CPU

[1]: device triggered interrupt A and line level changes to high
[2]: Mbigen receive interrupt A and changes the status of A to pending in mbigen(mbigen.state = pending)
[3]: Mbigen send interrupt A to ITS , the A status in mbigen will be changed to pending
	& active (mbigen.state = pending & active)
[4]: ITS receive the interrupt A and send A to gic (A status in gic is pending. gic.state=pending)
[5]: CPU ack the interrupt A ( gic.state = active)
[6]: Enter interrupt handler. The interrupt line level is cleared in device irq handler.
[7]: When detects the low level on interrupt A line, mbigen change the interrupt A status
	from pending & active to inactive (mbigen.state = inactive).
[8]: Send EOI . a): write register to clear the status in mbigen .
	b):clear the status in gic. (gic.state = inactive)

Yes, before irq_chip_eoi_parent is called, some code should be added to
clear the interrupt status in mbigen.
