Change is needed to handle the interrupt ack properly to clear the ack.

I observed that the regmap_irq_update_bits() writes the register only if 
it finds a difference b/w existing reg value to update reg value.

This may be causing the interrupt storm issue mentioned above.

Setting the mask_writeonly flag to 1, to force write the register may 
resolve the interrupt storm issue.
