Subject: [PATCH v2] amba-pl011: clear previous interrupts before request_irq

All previous interrupts should be cleared before installing
interrupt handler i.e. before request_irq. pl011_shutdown
clears the interrupt register but there may be case where
bootloader transfers control to kernel and there are some
pending interrupts. In this case interrupt handler will get
called even before interrupt mask is enabled.
