The NPCM845 I3C controller may raise a false SLVSTART interrupt. The
handler first latches MSTATUS and then clears SLVSTART. If a real IBI
request arrives after the handler latches MSTATUS but before it clears
the SLVSTART interrupt status, HW sets the SLVREQ state. However, the
handler still relies on the stale MSTATUS snapshot, returns early, and
misses the real IBI. No further interrupt is generated for this pending
IBI.
Re-read MSTATUS to obtain the latest state and avoid missing a real IBI
due to this race condition.
