This is a small patch set to fix some shortcomings how Orion bridge
irqs are handled. The patches are based on v3.13-rc8 and should go
into v3.14. They can possibly also marked for -stable down to v3.10.

This patches are the result of a discussion about a stale watchdog irq,
that can accidentially trigger the watchdog's irq handler and cause a
reset [1].

The first patch will add a write to clear already pending interrupts
on init. The second patch replaces handle_level_irq with handle_edge_irq
which is more appropriate for bridge irqs which are edge-triggered.
The last patch finally, fixes stale interrupts by installing an
.irq_enable callback, that will clear a possible pending interrupt
before unmasking it.
