Refer ARM DDI 0487G.b, CNTP_CTL_EL0,
ISTATUS, bit [2] - When the value of the ENABLE bit is 1, ISTATUS
indicates whether the timer condition is met.
Thus, one need to check ENABLE bit along with ISTATUS, to confirm
whether the timer condition is met. Further as the doc says,
"When the value of the ENABLE bit is 0, the ISTATUS field is UNKNOWN."

And how can the timer be disabled if we're in the interrupt handler?

Hi Marc,
Apologies, this got lost in my mailbox.

I am not very sure about this.
Is it possible for a pending interrupt to arrive just after the timer
has been disabled ?

I can't see how. This is a level interrupt, so disabling it at the
source also retires the pending bit from the GIC. And if what you
describe actually happens, this is only a spurious interrupt and most
probably a slightly broken interrupt controller implementation.
Overall, this change doesn't make much sense, unless you can show me a
HW implementation that is broken enough that this leads to actual
problems.
