Yes, I should make patch comment more consistent and elaborate. I will fix it in the next version. Thank you.

The sole purpose of zynqmp_dp_write() is to clear status register. The sooner we do it the better (after reading status in the local variable of course). We can also reuse status variable for in-place filtering against the interrupt mask, which makes this change dependent on zynqmp_dp_write() reordering. I will add a comment explaining this. Is it ok?
