Yes that's what I noticed too. And that's why cpcap was working for
me with ack_invert and without it earlier.

Yes could be. For cpcap, we have IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH configured in the
motorola-cpcap-mapphone.dtsi file.

Well I looked at the v3.0.8 Motorola Linux Android kernel, it actually
does clear_ack. So I'd rather keep the same logic as we have no proper
documentation for cpcap. I also confirmed still works without ack_invert
too while ack_invert now is broken. But using clear_ack now that we
have it working seems safer.
