1. The previous version of the handler did not handle spurious 
interrupts either.  Probably that means that the author of the patch 
knows for sure that they do not happen.

2. Instead of reading the status register new version registers 
different handlers for different irqs.  I don't see why it can be wrong.

I am going to address your other suggestions in the next version of the 
patchset.

Thank you
