The irq type is IRQ_NONE，It's counted in the note_interrupt function.

When the host controller is suspended, the ehci_suspend() will clear
the HCD_FLAG_HW_ACCESSIBLE, and then usb_hcd_irq() will return IRQ_NONE
directly without calling ehci_irq().

BIT(5) and BIT(3) are setted, STS_IAA and STS_FLR.

Because of our USB IP comes from Synopsys, and the uncleared flage is also caused by
special hardware design, in addition, we have not tested other manufacturers' USB
controllers.We don’t know if other manufacturers’ designs have this problem,
so this modification is only limited to this kind of design.
