I think interrupt/alert bit should be cleared while handling
interrupt, not later because:
1. It is logical to clear it when servicing it,
2. It is simpler - no need for "chip->alert_bit",
3. The alert threshold is understood as alert/warning so every
interrupt should generate uevent. I understand you wanted to remove
"duplicate interrupts" but in fact there are no duplicates. Every next
interrupt comes from change of SoC while being below the critical
level. Therefore on each such change user-space should be woken up and
notified (e.g. to show the message to the user).

I also think this should be squashed with previous patch as it does
not make sense as standalone commit.
