Yes, I get flood of IRQs with status = 0x30. (after I turn on the lamp,
but it persists even after I turn it off and cover the IR sensor).

That's weird, because on H6 in CIR_RXSTA, bit 5 is undefined but corresponding 
bit in CIR_RXINT is DRQ_EN (RX FIFO DMA Enable)

So I'm not sure what it could be flooded with and why IRQs keep being
fired, even with no sensor input after the FIFO is read.
