Right.  I made a few suggestions which vary in usefulness depending on
how you plan to implement all of this.  Unfortunately this is a bit of
a bastardised version where some of it make sense and other parts
could do with some improvement.

I think these are still required.  So it would look like this:

== Platform data ==

struct pdata {
  bool clear_irq_on_write;
};

pdata->clear_irq_on_write = PM800_IRQ_CLR_ON_{READ,WRITE};

== Driver ==

irq_clr_mode = pdata->clear_irq_on_write ?
                 PM800_WAKEUP2_INT_WRITE_CLEAR : PM800_WAKEUP2_INT_READ_CLEAR;
regmap_update_bits(map, PM800_WAKEUP2, mask, irq_clr_mode);
