Instead of testing and conditionally clearing them one by one, we can

I had a poke at the assembly and it looks like GCC is clearing the
bits unconditionally anyway, so removing the tests provides no change.
Combining them is a good further optimization.

A question unrelated to this patch: Do you know why the driver doesn't
clear the status bits in the interrupt handler? I would expect it to
write the value of sts back to the register to ack the pending
interrupt.
No, I don't, and I was sort of wondering the same thing actually -- I'm
not deeply familiar with this hardware or driver though, so I was a bit
hesitant to start messing with things. (Though maybe doing so would
address the "stickiness" aspect when it does manifest.) Perhaps Eddie
or Jae can shed some light here?
