Due to changes in hardware design, some peripheral interrupts pin initially connected to the Realtek interrupt controller were redirected to the GIC. 
However, the associated fields and statuses in the Realtek interrupt controller registers were not removed.
As a result, these interrupts cannot be cleared by peripheral register, and their status clearing is still needing the Realtek interrupt controller driver to manage.

That's why flexibility is necessary.

Regards,
James
