[PATCH] usb: typec: tipd: drop double register read in tps6598x_interrupt

[Peter Korsgaard]

Commit 409c1cfb5a80 ("usb: typec: tipd: fix event checking for tps6598x")
added (by accident?) a double read of the TPS_REG_INT_EVENT1 register.  Drop
that.

Are you sure?  Sometimes 2 reads are required.  How was this tested?

Hard to be 100% sure, but the code did not have a double read before the
above commit and sticking a printk in the driver like this:

                goto err_unlock;


and (un)plugging the USB cable I see:

So I am fairly sure it is not needed.

Sometimes hardware requires it, even if it is not noticed by the actual
read value, so I would like to get an ack from the original author on
this before accepting it.

The hardware should not require it. Javier, can you comment on this?
If there really is need to do double read, then there needs to be a
comment explaining why IMO.
