right, PCI_STATUS has write '1' to clear bits and there's a chance that it
could be reset while raising legacy interrupt. While this cannot be avoided for
TI's J721E, other platforms doesn't have to have this limitation.

This is to make sure EP doesn't update in-consistent state when RC is updating
the PCI_STATUS register? Since this involves two different systems, how do we
make this atomic?

Thanks
