I mean 'status_invert' as just status register has inverted bits. So to 
keep all other logic we just need to invert status register after read. 
It will not break acks because we can use ack_invert option to invert 
status back if needed. Anyway it will not affect existing devices just 
new ones with inverted status.

Yes my device is clear on read. It don`t use ack registers. It has only 
mask and status.

I missed read status register at regmap_add_irq_chip_fwnode(). I will 
send v2.
