Thanks for the feedback,

As per the user manual Exynos4412
INTSTAT and INTCLEAR have a clear mapping with bits
falling 20, 16, 12 and rising 8 4 0

whereas Exyno5422 has
INTSTAT and INTCLEAR have a clear mapping with bits
falling 24, 20, 16, and rising 8 4 0

Yes, it could differ for all the SoCs,
I don't have the user manual or TRM for these SoCs
to configure correctly.

I tried to configure this, referring to the comment in the driver
        /*
         * Clear the interrupts.  Please note that the documentation for
         * Exynos3250, Exynos4412, Exynos5250 and Exynos5260 incorrectly
         * states that INTCLEAR register has a different placing of bits
         * responsible for FALL IRQs than INTSTAT register.  Exynos5420
         * and Exynos5440 documentation is correct (Exynos4210 doesn't
         * support FALL IRQs at all).
         */

By the way, I don't see Exynos5433 and Exynos7 support
INTSTAT and INTCLEAR registers. We are using TMU_REG_INTPEND
 to read and update the same register.

        if (data->soc == SOC_ARCH_EXYNOS5260) {
                tmu_intstat = EXYNOS5260_TMU_REG_INTSTAT;
                tmu_intclear = EXYNOS5260_TMU_REG_INTCLEAR;
        } else if (data->soc == SOC_ARCH_EXYNOS7) {
                tmu_intstat = EXYNOS7_TMU_REG_INTPEND;
                tmu_intclear = EXYNOS7_TMU_REG_INTPEND;
        } else if (data->soc == SOC_ARCH_EXYNOS5433) {
                tmu_intstat = EXYNOS5433_TMU_REG_INTPEND;
                tmu_intclear = EXYNOS5433_TMU_REG_INTPEND;
        } else {
                tmu_intstat = EXYNOS_TMU_REG_INTSTAT;
                tmu_intclear = EXYNOS_TMU_REG_INTCLEAR;
        }
