I have a question here. I assume writing a bit to this register will
result in clearing that bit, is that true?

Based on the driver, the 'nsp_gpio_irq_handler' seems to rely on
'NSP_GPIO_EVENT' register to figure out which GPIO the interrupt is for.
And if so, and if this is cleared here that is invoked before the actual
IRQ handler, how does this work?

I could be missing something here, so please help to explain it in more
details here.

Thanks,

Ray
