Maintainer has asked you to move this data from device tree to driver
[1], I doubt you could get this data from device tree. Even though
device tree has this property, this driver support only mt6779 now, so
it's not necessary to have slave_type_num because slave type is only
1. I think we should not consider support multiple SoC in this patch.

This hardware is so special. For general hardware, only clear status
would let hardware stop interrupt. Please add a comment about this
special hardware behavior.
