Hi Daniel, Matthias,

Thanks for your review.

Unfortunately, I still saw the spurious interrupts with both fixes.

After some experiments, it seems the HW will latch irq status even when 
IRQ is disabled. I can fix this issue by either ack irq before enable
irq(like patch below), or not enable clock event before enable irq.

I'll come up a fix base on this next time.
